Changes from from my previous patches are as follows:
a) support for files with holes
b) use the block iterator present in libext2fs
c) don't mark  the indirect blocks as unused early. If we mark the

If this code could also (or optionally just) increase the size of inodes
it would be very useful.  AFAIK right now it will only change the inodes
from block-mapped to extent-mapped?



That is correct. My next step is to enhance the tool to support migration to large inodes.
