[ydl-gen] FUSE

[Chris]

By coincidence I was also investigating FUSE on YDL6 today and came to 
the same conclusion. Tomorrow I'm going to rebuild the kernel with fuse 
as a module and I'll report back here on my success or otherwise and any 
instructions I can provide. I think I'm going to rebuild the kernel into 
an RPM so that hopefully it will be easier to install.

It would be nice if the ydl kernel maintainers could include fuse 
support in the default ydl kernel config in future...
