FWIW, in case you would be really interested on improving the HFS code, it 
should
be no problem to collect some funds in the PowerPC community to financially 
support
that task, e.g. through a Bountysource campaign.

We have done this in the past to support similar projects in GCC and LLVM.

What do you think?

Thanks,
