The code is actually totally different between the two so it'll 
essentially have to be rewritten in newfs.  tunefs uses libufs and some of 
the code for manipulating directories that was added to tunefs needs to be 
moved back into libufs and made more general.  However, newfs doesn't use 
libufs anyway.  So it'd have to be converted or you'd just have to 
re-write journal creation.

For now, I think an extra step in the installer is probably easier.

Thanks,
