Im been experimenting with fuse binding for erlang for some time, have 
done some progress but it goes quite slowly, its done on my free time.

Current status is that i have a quite working port driver (running as a 
separate process) for talking to the fuse kernel module, decode/encode 
of the protocol, various help modules for dealing with errnos (to map 
errno atoms to numbers) etc.
Just starting to think about/write the equivalent of fuse_lowlevel.c and 
fuse.c.

My approach is to use libfuse only for mounting and get a open fd to the 
fuse device and then do all communication directly from erlang. The 
libfuse highlevel API (which most other bindings uses) is either 
non-concurrent or uses posix threads for concurrency, which i think 
would be bad.

I have no public source repository yet, so just ask and i will send you 
(or anyone else interested?) a snapshot.
