This is a Cygwin version of libfuse{,3} that can be found in various

a separate ITP.
Importantly, cygfuse depends on an underlying Windows FUSE
implementation: WinFSP. In fact the Cygwin library code was provided by
the author of WinFSP. I'm just providing a bona-fide Cygwin package for
the code.
WinFSP, and thus cygfuse, is made available under GPLv3 for Free/Libre
and Open Source Software or under a commercial license.
If another Windows FUSE provider shows interest in supporting Cygwin, I
suspect it could be supported with alternatives(8).
It's not quite that straightforward as the Windows loader can only
follow symlinks to DLLs if they are
But that's not

Thanks for reading and for any feedback you might have,

This should be written 'RESTRICT=strip', I think.

mv ${S}/src/cygfuse ${S}

I think this can be handled with 'SRC_DIR=src/cygfuse' (and suitable
adjustment to paths throughout)
