I believe it is possible to implement (port) this tool on top of the 
BlockIO protocol. Remember that elilo is capable of reading ext2fs 
filesystems simply by using this protocol. The problem is mostly in 
porting the supporting libraries and cleaning up the tool to use the 
EFI data types when necessary. It has been on my TODO list for a while now....
