Development will stop with this version: e2undel is useless on ext3 file 
systems (see how e2undel works), and I expect most ext2 users to upgrade 
to ext3 (as I did on all of my machines). There are still some minor things 
to do (see the todo list in file BUGS in the archive); but if less and less 
people are using ext2, it does not make much sense to work on this tool.  

So this tool won't do it.
