I am thinking that this might be possible. Perhaps setup a non-global zone
and install the package there so that I can trace down the component sizes.
Will have to figure out how to create the non-global zone and then do this.

Yea, I was digging around the Internet and it seems that there is no real
support for this. Perhaps, I can dig into the FUSE code at some point to
see if maybe I can get it working in the near future since I think that it
would be useful to be able to mount different filesystems as well.
