 us almost instant support for FUSE and Windows virtual disk, both with
 nice unit tests. I know PyFS is quite young project, but it works and we
 don't need reinvent the wheel. And as a contributor of PyFS I will be more
 motivated to improve Tahoe-LAFS support if it become more used ;).

 virtual disks in the documentation. There is {{{fs.expose.fuse}}}, which
 depends on FUSE, but there's no Windows equivalent of that.

 Oh, I missed
 [http://code.google.com/p/pyfilesystem/source/browse/trunk/fs/expose/dokan
 fs.expose.dokan] (because it is not documented at
 http://packages.python.org/fs/expose.html).

 OTOH, the way that the interface to dokan
 [http://code.google.com/p/pyfilesystem/source/browse/trunk/fs/expose/dokan/__init__.py#295
 here] maps from POSIX-style open flags to fopen-style flags, loses
 information and is definitely not going to be sufficient for many
 applications. (That is, the "TODO: I'm sure this misses some important
 semantics." comment in that code is absolutely correct.)
