Ahh, great work Peter!! I had a really quick look at your patches, especially the ext2fs patch. I have a little (perhaps stupid) question about this patch. I usually use htons ntos, etc. for handling endianess. Was there a reason not to use these functions? I'm really happy to see those improvements for endianess :). I still wonder if other parts of the Hurd won't have these problems... Could you please write ChangeLog entries. I know this is boring work, but that makes the code easier to read and it is a requirement for submition AFAIK.
