Robert Clausecker 6e2da9672f filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.

Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

e2tools is a simple set of GPL'ed utilities to read, write, and
manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem. These utilities access a
filesystem directly using the ext2fs library. I wrote these tools in
order to copy files into a linux filesystem on a machine that does not
have ext2 support. Of course, they can also be used on a Linux machine
to read/write to disk images or floppies without having to mount them
or have root access.
Supported functionality:
- copy files: e2cp
- move files: e2mv
- remove files: e2rm
- create directory: e2mkdir
- create hard links: e2ln
- list files/directories: e2ls
- output the last part of a file: e2tail
