Is it really mandatory to re-create or will a "fsck.reiser4 --build-fs" 
be able to fix the filesystem to the new format ? (the data on my 
reiser4 partition is not important at all, but i'd like to avoid erase 
it if possible).

By the way, a small complaint: it would be nice to update the version 
numbers the next time there are changes, as e.g. for libaal-0.4.15, a 
diffstat with libaal-0.4.15 from the previous snapshot gives something like:

[...]
 src/bitops.c            |    2
 src/block.c             |    2
 src/debug.c             |    2
 src/device.c            |   12 -
 src/exception.c         |    2
 src/file.c              |    2
 src/gauge.c             |    2

 src/list.c              |    2
 src/malloc.c            |    2
 src/print.c             |    2

 src/string.c            |   21 --
 src/ui.c                |    2

And the diff for reiser4progs-0.4.20 looks huge...  8-o
