This is great news!

I ran a quick test of squashfs 4.0 (the CVS version) on UML/ia32 and ppc64, and it
seems to work fine! Great job! Let's hope we'll see it in mainline soon...

BTW, one minor gripe is that the current mksquashfs doesn't want to run on big
endian yet, as there's no byteswapping support.

With kind regards,
