I tried compiling it from git on my Mac and it failed horribly (it needs
the user lock manager that comes with Linux FUSE, which MacFUSE doesn't
have). *I'm* willing to do the work to make it work, but most Mac users
just won't bother. Besides, since HFS+ is case-insensitive anyway, why
bother?

That's kinda difficult on Linux. It's easy enough to tell if you're on a
FUSE FS (statfs(2) will tell you that), but it's somewhat tedious to
tell exactly which FUSE FS it is (AFAIK, the only way to tell is to read
the mount table).
