Hi to all,

my proof-of-concept is on gitorius here: 
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/fsgateway

The only depencency is mono and mono-fuse. Actually to run it you need 
to specify the sugar datastore path (ex: 
/home/liveuser/.sugar/default/datastore) and the mountpoint.

Now I working about the suggestion that Tomeu sent to me several time ago.

I know that mono is not the perfect framework for sugar but:
- this package seems to work
- mono is shipper with FC11
- this package is used not only for sugar-datastore
Obviously when all is ok will be not a great work move from mono to C.

Cheers, Torello
