Does not Fedora provide some precompiled packages? (Yes, it may not the
latest-and-greatest, but very well sufficient.) At least the dependency
packages could be installed as rpms.

I have to agree, but then again, it is simple enough: for the main() function
look at another fuse fs - unless you really care just use

int main(void)
{
	return fuse_main(...)
}

and then implement the fs functions. Their prototypes are explained in
/usr/include/fuse/fuse.h, the arguments mostly match the libc functions.

Documenting the exceptions is a welcome TODO though, let's see who persuades it
first ;-)
