This is a Cygwin version of libfuse{,3} that can be found in various Linux distributions.  It is a couple of link libraries and additions to /usr/include to allow porting of FUSE apps.  FUSE: File System In User Space.  I will shortly be providing an sshfs FUSE app, to be covered by 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).

The initial project files for review are located at:
