Is there a reason to restrict this to ufs?  ext2/3/4 also has features
which can be configured through the -O option.  I removed the inner
'if' statement.

This is interesting information, but by declaring it here it ties us
our ABI to some particular feature of Debian 'ufsutils'.  I have made
this into a separate patch and changed the wording a bit so that we
aren't promising anything.

Please see the attached 2 x patches.  If these are suitable for you, I
will commit them.

Rich.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mkfs-opts: Add optional "features" parameter.

This allows the -O parameter to be added to the mkfs command line.
This is used to select filesystem features.
