user-destdir support

Update to the latest stable version now that refuse has been fixed.

Downgrade to 1.913 until the issues are found with newer versions.

Update to 1.1120:

* Fix: successful hard link removal may reported "Input/Output error".
* Fix: listing the content of a single directory having over 600,000 files
  and subdirectories may returned "Input/Output error" or truncated
  directory listing.
* Fix: atime mount option didn't work.
* Fix: POSIX file time updates (file access and modification times, inode
  change time). Please note, though NTFS-3G updates the times correctly now,
  FUSE may keep caching old, invalid time attributes for a short time after
  rename(2), creat(2), and some file operations which involve hard links.
  FUSE has fixed already the first two cases and they may be included in
  the Linux kernel 2.6.24 release.
* New: relatime support was added and made the default atime update method.

Update to 1.1104:

* Fix: reads over the end of a file could return "invalid argument" error
  using some recent kernels. This problem may have caused Thunderbird
  to hang.
* Fix: some faulty versions of the gcc compiler have crashed during
  compilation.
* Fix: the utimes(2) system call may incorrectly updated the last status
  change filestamp.
* Change: the ntfs.streams.list extended attribute enumerates Alternate
  Data Streams (ADS) '\0' separated.

Update to 1.1030:

* fix: big-endian problems exposed by the NTFS-3G Test Suite.
* fix: free space calculation may was wrong for >1 TB volumes.
* fix: some faulty Thunderbird versions caused system log flooding.
* fix: uClibc and uClinux improvements.
* fix: logging improvements.
* fix: many other minor fixes.

Update to 1.1004:

*  fix: unwritten sparse file regions could get corrupted if the end
   of a write wasn't aligned to cluster boundary. Sparse files are very
   rarely used, most typically by bittorent clients.
* fix: creation of read-only files failed.
* change: free inode calculation was CPU intensive during write activity.
  This could reduce write performance when millions of files are used if
  a file manager or desktop applet regularly polled for disk space usage.
  Now the statfs() system call is constant time.
* change: file creation performance is improved by 40-80%.
* change: smart directory traversal is 20-200% faster for disk based and
  300-600% faster for memory cache based traversals.

Update to 1.913:

STABLE Version 1.913 (September 13, 2007) Release Notes

* change: free disk space calculation was highly CPU intensive during
  write activity. This could reduce write performance severely, especially
  for huge volumes if a file manager or desktop applet regularly polled
  for disk space usage. Now the calculation is constant time, around only
  10 microseconds on a typical desktop, and it's completely independent
  of the volume size.
* fix: hibernation check was too rigid and mount was refused in read/write
  mode unnecessarily in some cases.
* all performance improvements included unchanged from the 1.910-RC test
  release. Please see those details below.

Version 1.910-RC (September 10, 2007) -- Release Notes

* change: significantly improved the performance of writing many files,
  typically by 50-1000% (copying files, unpacking, untarring packages,
  compilation, directory synchronization, ...).
* change: improved the performance of writing multi-GB size files,
  particularly after the creation of many thousands of other files.
  Previous disk space defragmentation is highly advised for the best
  possible speed. File level defragmentation is not enough.
* change: improved concurrent write performance.

Update to 1.810:

* fix: file rename may updated the modification time of some files which
	caused some backup tools, like rsync, not to preserve always
	this timestamp.
* fix: unmount (fusermount -u) was denied for an unprivileged user who
	was allowed to mount a block device. FUSE 2.7.0+ user space package
	is required for the full fix.
* fix: the driver could hang if there wasn't enough memory during reading
	a large directory
* fix: reading a directory may reported success when there was an error
* fix: metadata update error was ignored in some very rare cases during
	writing a file
* fix: permissions checking was turned on if umask, fmask and dmask was
	set to the default 000 value.
* change: manual update, added Windows filename compatibility section
* change: lots of logging improvements

Update to 1.710:

* fix: move, rename and hard link could return "input/output error"
* fix: very rare, recoverable directory corruption
* fix: portability improvements
* change: more troubleshooting hints if a volume can't be mounted
* change: logging improvements

* new: install executables to the root file system otherwise mount
  could fail during boot
* fix: any kind of file size change failure returned "Operation not permitted"
* fix: file close failure was not always reported
* fix: unmount failure was not always reported
* fix: file creation always gave "input/output error" if the $MFT Bitmap
  wasn't up-to-date
* fix: converting very long file names to Unicode may failed
* fix: syslog messages didn't show the low level error detail
* fix: compilation improvements on OS X and NetBSD

Add a patch to pass the EXEC_NAME through to fuse_new(). Otherwise there
is no way of knowing the file system's name, since it is never passed to
the refuse layer.

Update to 1.417:

* new: read-write mount is supported using the "force" mount option if
       the logfile is unclean
* new: libntfs-3g is versioned
* fix: default ownership of files weren't always set to the mounting user
* fix: mount was denied if the NTFS Master File Table copy had non-standard size
* fix: catch and deny all junction/reparse point write operations
* fix: multiply -o options weren't allowed (FreeBSD's mount(8) requires this)
* fix: don't try to run Linux specific code on non-Linux OSes

Update to 1.328 (latest stable version):

* fix: fakeraid/softraid detection was incorrect
* change: major performance improvement for writing large
  files (new block allocator)
* change: manual update, added access handling, security section
* new: use the 'nonempty' FUSE mount option by default, so the driver
  behaves as the in-kernel file systems
* new: --disable-ldconfig configure option

Don't try to read /proc/filesystems or use modprobe on NetBSD.

fuse-ntfs-3g package, proven to work under NetBSD-current.

The original work in pkg'izing this was done by <xtraeme>.
