I think it's a great proposal, and I will do it by this weekend.

About another UFFS (Unified FFS):
I started UFFS (Ultra-low-cost FFS) at 2005 and released it to public  
(sourceforge.net) under GPL at early 2007. Unified FFS project was  
started at late 2008 by students from Epitech, the first stable  
version is expected at next month.

Ultra-low-cost FFS has no relationship with Unified FFS.

eCos is a great platform, a working UFFS package on eCos certainly  
encourage me put more effort on UFFS :)
