You could go to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2resize/
to get it. They have 1.1.19 with the notes saying:
Update for various fixes: Patches for e2fsprogs-1.35 Patches for
kernel-2.6.9-rc2-mm4 gcc-3.4 compiler fixes 64-bit host fixes.
Also note that the e2fsprogs RPM puts ext2online in /usr/sbin whereas
the sf rpm for 1.1.19 puts it, along with ext2resize in /sbin.
