Thats that plan -- I'll have an updated device table mkfs.jffs2 
patch to you over the weekend.  Meanwhile, I've fixed up jffs2reader 
so that it actually works, so that it default to listing the contents
of the whole fs when given no flags, and so its directory listings now
mimic the behavior of 'ls -l', i.e.:

[andersen at sage util]$ ./jffs2reader ~/buildroot/image.jffs2 -d /etc 
-rw-r--r-- 1    1000     1000          270 Aug 31 00:00 /etc/fstab

This was needed to allow me to easily find and fix the bugs with my device
table patch for mkfs.jffs2.  Seems like it should be generally useful.
Patch is attached,
