Many packagers use the external libfuse for new upstream improvements and to avoid redundancy. There is no good technical reason to keep the priviallage handling to internal libfuse only, so let's fix that.
I am slightly concerned at not seeing some of the mount point permission checks found in upstream libfuse fusermount in our current mount implementation. This would be a bug shared with internal libfuse, and I do not intend to reach that far now. --- My mail client is acting up a bit, so here's a link to the patch: https://github.com/AOSC-Dev/ntfs-3g/commit/38cb3d15eb234acfbb578c78650773ae17b72aad.patch What I did is basically move the {drop,restore}_priv functions from fusermount to a separate header. It becomes one of the translation units in libntfs-3g when needed. Some prefixing might be a good idea for patchv2 if symbol collision is a concern.
