mkfs and fsck for HFS and HFS+ file systems

The HFS+ file system used by Apple Computer for their Mac OS is

supported by the Linux kernel. Apple provides mkfs and fsck for

HFS+ with the Unix core of their operating system, Darwin.

This package is a port of Apple's tools for HFS+ filesystems.

For users, HFS+ seems to be a good compromise to carry files between

MacOS X and Linux Machines, as HFS+ doesn't suffer the problems of

FAT32 like:

* huge space waste (in slack space as devices grow faster);

* ability to create files that are more than 4GB in size (especially

good for those working with multimedia and that need to carry large

ISO files);

* ability to use case preserving (and even sensitivity!);

* ability to use uid's and gid's on the filesystem.

Users in general can enjoy such benefits since it is expected to have

more HFS+ filesystems in use, as Apple has announced Macintoshes for

ix86-64, besides the filesystem being already supported by PowerPC

systems since the beginning.
