Totally agree. I didn't compare by file content, but the project seems
to be based on the files in
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs
which had a lot of changes in the meantime.
My plans were to update the project files by the recent ones as soon as reading
access works again.
In fact the project consists of three parts. The BFS sources, a Win32
compatibility layer, and the exported Total Commander API implementation.
As I said it could easily be replaced by something different,
however Total Commander serves as a good userland playground for debugging
while a native Windows fs plugin would be desired in the long run.
BR,
Jürgen
