For reference only you can look at mtools mformat. It uses the GPL, so
is not compatible with the modified GPL License eCos uses. I don't
know of any sources with a MIT/BSD style license which could be used
directly. I suspect you will have to read the various documents that
exist about FAT and write a new package or extend the existing
package.
