MS-DOS filesystems under SunOS 4.x

I know that someone has gone to the trouble of writing MTOOLS, a package
for reading/writing MS-DOS filesystems to the 3.5 inch floppy drive on
SPARCstations. Recently, I was poking around the kernel source code and
learned that all the code for MS-DOS file systems is apparently in place,
just waiting for someone to turn on the PCFS option and rebuild the
kernel. (Actually, mount(8) would also have to be rebuilt.)
Have I been missing something? I don't ever remember hearing about MS-DOS
filesystem support before. How come it isn't mentioned in the
documentation? The mount(8) man page doesn't say a word about it.
Before I go to the trouble of trying this, I'd like to know if it's
already been done.
