FAT16 support

[Jason J]

I have an application I would really love FAT16 resizing support. From 
the bug lists I read, parted cant grow FAT16 very well because it cant 
modify the cluster size. I am creating Knoppix based partition restore 
CD's that will work with linux and FAT16 partitions used by NTE and XPE. 
The ext2 resizing is working GREAT on these compact flash images... Nice 
work!

1) Is anyone working on finishing up the FAT16 support? Anything in 
beta/alpha I could try?
2) In scripted mode (parted -s), it is very bad to have it automatically 
convert FAT16 to FAT32 without user intervention or some sort of 
authorization/force commandline flag.  It would also be nice to have the 
option to convert to FAT32 as an option without resizing.
3) Is there any other way I can create bootable FAT16 partitions PURELY 
from linux?
