Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 ryandesign@…]:
 > It is unfortunate that the osxfuse port currently encompasses two very
 different pieces of software: a kernel extension, whose architecture needs
 to match the kernel, and also userland frameworks and libraries that other
 programs need to link with. It would be ideal if osxfuse could split these
 two different types of software into two different ports, so that's the
 kernel modules could be built for their required architecture, while the
 libraries and frameworks could be built for the same architecture as other
 userland software, thus eliminating the need to add the above block to any
 port that directly or indirectly uses osxfuse.

 I should point out that this is how fuse4x was set up, before osxfuse
 replaced it.

 That is to say, the hypothetical new port for just the osxfuse userland
 libraries and frameworks (which other ports would depend on) should be
 universal capable; the hypothetical new port for just the osxfuse kernel
 extensions (which only the osxfuse library/framework port would need to
 depend on, and which would be marked "`installs_libs no`" so that the
 architecture check is bypassed) only needs to match the kernel
 architecture.
