I'll see what I can do to use libubi the way I want.
The problem of using libubi in mkfs is not the includes (we can copy
the headers in /include or add -I../ubi-utils/include).
The main problem is that ubi-utils/Makefile make a libubi.a but
mkfs.ubifs/Makefile have no way to use it (we could add
../ubi-utils/src/libubi.c to the sources, but it's ugly).
I think it's why there is 3 crc32.c in mtd-utils ...
As I'm working on my free time I don't have the time to try to make it
works with the current buildsystem.
Mike, have you got any suggestion ?
Maybe moving to autotools instead of CMake could help us ?

Thanks
