The upstream of fuse.py is <https://github.com/terencehonles/fusepy>. It looks
pretty abandoned -- there have been no commits there since 5th April 2016 and
there are 17 pull requests dating from 2013 onwards that are still waiting for
responses from the maintainer.

There's no support in fuse.py for ppc64 platforms which means BuildStream is
unusable on that architecture at present. My pull request to fix that upstream
is being ignored; since the module is a single .py file provided under the
ISC license it is simplest to pull the whole thing into buildstream.git instead.

The version of fuse.py that's been embedded is the one from pull request #72,
from upstream release v2.0.4 (commit 0eafeb5).
