Hi Tobias and Jan,

 as you can see my approach is straight simple: if extending the ext4 fails
because it does not match the filesystem type then try with btrfs tool.
Obviously, the btrfs tool is added as dependencies among others before
defined.

 pro: it supports btrfs, easy to catch

 contro: not a general approach

 I tend to be very pragmatic: the current supports ext4 resize only + a
simple patch it supports btrfs also. This is an improvement and add a
little of complexity. May be tomorrow, it will arrive the support for xfs
or dm-crypto. Step by step functionalities will be added and at a certain
point someone will feel the nessecity to rationalise the code but not
necessarily generalising (architecture change).

 This kind of development is about natural evolution rather than
intelligent design. Ok, sometimes it is necessary to reorganise, rewrite,
generalise, the product of the natural evolution but usually fits enough.
My 2 cents, IMHO.

 Cheers, R.
