This is a Cygwin version of libfuse{,3} that can be found in various Linux
distributions. It is a couple of link libraries and additions to
/usr/include to allow porting of FUSE apps. FUSE: File System In User
Space. I will shortly be providing an sshfs FUSE app, to be covered by a
separate ITP.
Importantly, cygfuse depends on an underlying Windows FUSE implementation:
WinFSP. In fact the Cygwin library code was provided by the author of
WinFSP. I'm just providing a bona-fide Cygwin package for the code.
WinFSP, and thus cygfuse, is made available under GPLv3 for Free/Libre and
Open Source Software or under a commercial license.
If another Windows FUSE provider shows interest in supporting Cygwin, I
suspect it could be supported with alternatives(8).
