Trouble with sshfs, caused by macfuse

[Damien Clauzel]

When installing the sshfs port, MacPorts wants first  to install  
macfuse as it is a dependance. Fine.
The problem is that when MacFuse is already installed through the  
preference panel from Google (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/).

The result is an error :

___
--->  Activating macfuse
DEBUG: Image error: /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Contents/Info.plist  
already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to  
activate port macfuse.
     while executing
"_activate_contents $name $imagefiles $imagedir"
     (procedure "portimage::activate" line 56)
     invoked from within
"portimage::activate $portname [composite_version $portversion [array  
get variations]] [array get options]"
Error: port activate failed: Image error: /Library/Filesystems/ 
fusefs.fs/Contents/Info.plist already exists and does not belong to a  
registered port.  Unable to activate port macfuse.

MacFuse cannot be activated, because the filesystem module is already  
provided by Google's preference panel.
By consequence, sshfs cannot be installed because the macfuse port is  
not activated, although FUSE support is correctly provided.

I can see 2 solutions for this :

	1) remove macfuse dependance from sshfs : possible, but not ideal  
because sshfs wouldn't be working
	2) create a placeholder macfuse port, that would represent the fact  
that MacFuse is already present on the computer

Any comments ?
