10.6: Mount remote Linux sshfs disks in 64-bit 10.6

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS HINT. You are running the risk of corrupting any filesystem mounted with MacFUSE.

This hint suggests building MacFUSE for the 64-bit MacOS kernel. The git repository referenced is an untested fork of the original code, with some patches to enable _building_ on 64-bit (just because it builds doesn't mean it will work, and if you don't understand why, then you really shouldn't be downloading and building random code on someone else's say-so).

There is no official 64-bit version of the MacFUSE kernel extension: building your own one (or downloading an unofficial build) will set you on the path to eventual filesystem corruption. Read the last bullet point in the first email on this thread (from MacFUSE's creator, Amit Singh):
