Now that I've seen the code, it seems this could be done with
a 4/5 line perl/awk script which parses `xfs_bmap -vv /tmp/foo`
rather than modifying the existing program at all.  Thoughts?
xfs_bmap output is quite regular, so it shouldn't be too hard..

And when someone wants a <xml version="2.0"> output or some
other trendy output format, only the script would need changes.

thanks.
