After some debugging I have applied this patch with one little change -
the mode should be "S_IFREG | 0666", so that the viewer and the editor
don't complain that the file is not "regular".

It turns out that extfs actually implements stat() on newly added files, so
we can live without the "dirty" flag.

Copying to archives should work just fine now.
