For what it's worth, I'd strongly recommend against hosting this build anywhere public until it has gone through a bit more testing. Like Erik mention, it's not designed to work well in a shared-driver environment. This would be a pretty poor solution to integrate into the public MacFUSE line. It's also very beta and has known bugs that can lead to deadlock in somewhat rare situations.
Drawing on experience here at ExpanDrive, we had many users install the non-threadsafe "unofficial" 64 bit DMG, with all sorts of problems. It was a decidedly "bad idea" - but nobody liked to hear that what seemed to run well, was actually rather unsafe and would eventually lead to problems. Until the developers [tuxera, mostly] get this a little farther along and we can all agree on a solution to either namespace the driver to individual projects [like tuxera] or to have a better locking mechanism, hosting these files publicly for anybody to download probably isn't prudent. Anyone who wants to run it to help develop/ test will almost certainly have the dev chain installed, and it's easy enough to build. That being said, I do think moving this project to Github is a pretty good idea. I have the "macfuse" account on github and am happy to bring the project there, or as a sub-project of ExpanDrive [since we use it fairly extensively :)] -Jeff ExpanDrive, Inc.
