Looking very good!
FYI the "header comment" which I requested, are the comment on the top of
the file. But hey I'm not complaining ;-)

Sigh. Too bad you couldn't find a path manipulation library for joinpath()
and basename2(). Things like that should really never be re-implemented.
If you really have to implement them or really want to, then you should
write simple unit tests that run on 'make test' to verify that your helpers
do what you claim they do for all the listed inputs, because right now,
I doubt that you have good test coverage for complex path composing
just from running fsck.overlay itself.
