Sorry, but it's really annoying to pull in a filesystem-specific devel package for that. Having a library is fine, but please move the library into util-linux so it's always available without another dependency. That way xfsprogs could for example drop it's own detection library aswell. > The package build system is now based on autotools.

For more details see the README file And this is really dumb. autotools is a completely pain in the ass and not useful at all for linux-only tools.
