ext3 support as mkfs.ext3, mke2fs, fsck?

Hi,
Would you add ext3 filesystem support in mkfs and fsck applets?
I'm using platform where kernel was built with ext3 fs support but ext2 
was disabled.
Currently I'm using binary mke2fs but I'd like to be able to use BusyBox 
applet for that.

Flashing recompiled kernel is quite risky on the platform I'm writing 
to and additional ext2.ko module takes too much space.

'-j' argument is simply ignored by BusyBox mke2fs applet and such ext2
filesystem is not mountable there.

Regards,
Tom
