MacFUSE portfile

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hey Kevin! Seeing we could easily grow the fuse category with a rather 
similar template for every port in it other than the two base fusefs 
and libfuse ports, or so I think, this would seem like great candidate 
for a new PortGroup code a la perl PortGroup, ruby, aqua, etc...

	Do I have enough drag to encourage you to write the base code for the 
group? It shouldn't be too hard for you to take a look into the 
existing groups in base/src/port1.0/resources/group/ and figuring out 
the requirements and syntax ;-) Once written, the sshfs port could be 
rewritten as an initial test against the group before other ports 
leverage it... up for inclusion in 1.4 if time & testing permits, woot!

	But other than that, MacFUSE PortGroup or not, kudos to you for 
bringing this into our repo, I'm sure many will have lots of thanking 
words for you, here are mine!

	Regards,....
