FUSE bindings for bash.

If you, like me, have ever had the desire to create a FUSE filesystem

from a shell script, this may be just the thing for you.

booze compiles to a shared library (`booze.so`) that you can load into

bash via its `enable -f` feature.  It adds a new builtin to bash,

`booze`, that mounts a FUSE filesystem and shuffles data back and

forth between libfuse and bash functions in your script.

Its `help` text gives a basic description of how to use it:

    booze: booze [-df] FN_ASSOC MOUNTPOINT

        Mount a booze filesystem at MOUNTPOINT using functions in FN_ASSOC.

        Options:

          -d: debug mode (implies -f)

          -f: run in foreground

        FN_ASSOC must be an associative array.  Any keys it contains that match

        one of the following FUSE operation names will cause that FUSE operation

        to be implemented by the bash function named by the value corresponding

        to the key:

            getattr

            access

            readlink

            readdir

            mknod

            mkdir

            unlink

            rmdir

            symlink

            rename

            link

            chmod

            chown

            truncate

            utimens

            open

            read

            write

            statfs

            release

            fsync

            fallocate

            setxattr

            getxattr

            listxattr

            removexattr

        If for any reason this doesn't seem like a good idea, the user is

        encouraged to drink until it does.

The files `hello.sh` (a simple "hello world"), `passthrough.sh` (sort

of like a bind mount), and `cowsayfs.sh` (filenames through cowsay!)

provide examples of functioning booze filesystems.
