#17329: Macfuse 1.7 does not mount VMWare Fusion image

I believe there is a bug with the Macfuse 1.7 port. VMWare Fusion 2.x
allows you to mount Virtual Machines using their VMDKMounter application
and Macfuse. So their installer will install Macfuse 1.5.1 and that will
work. However if you elect to skip that install, you can provide your own
Macfuse. I tried that and used the Macports Macfuse 1.7 but it does not
work. So I uninstalled the macfuse port and then manually installed
Macfuse from the DMG provided by Google Code. I was then able to
successfully mount a Fusion Virtual Machine.
One thing I noticed while poking around in the /Library/Frameworks/
directory for Macfuse was that the Info.plist file said Macfuse was
version 1.6.1 with the MacPorts install. But with the install from the DMG
from Google Code, it said version 1.7.1. So
I think that perhaps the wrong version is being used by MacPorts.
