Maybe the commercial/proprietary tool "Partition Magic"[1] is able to do
that, since they support ext2(3) and can merge fat & CO for years already.
But I don't have recent versions of Partition Magic so I don't really
know - ask them before purchasing that tool. But backing up before doing
that is a good idea in any case ;-)
