I guess the big question here is whether anyone finds the use of ntea useful
for FAT partitions.  This is the one advantage that ntea has over ntsec.  If
the answer here is that ntea is considered useful for FAT despite the ugly,
quickly growing file it produces, then I'd say keep it.  Just my $.02.
