The idea is that mk/fuse.buildlink3.mk pulls in some adequate FUSE
implementation.  NetBSD has librefuse, which uses libpuffs and the
in-kernel puffs implementation.  I expect this to be chosen.

I am not clear on what it takes to build pkgsrc (upstream) FUSE on
NetBSD and make it work.  FUSE-like behavior needs kernel support.  It
may be that upstream FUSE, when built on NetBSD, knows to use puffs.
