Ahh, that's useful to know, thanks!

Would it be possible to update s3fs while leaving the version of FUSE as
is? It looks like s3fs-1.19 is the last version that works on versions
of FUSE less than 2.8.4, hence my curiosity here.

I did give this a try, but the configure script could not find
libcrypto. I do have the Linux emulation module and port installed going
and I'm assuming it was looking for this in the Linux paths? Would I be
wasting my time trying to get this working in the Linux emulated
environment? I'm also assuming that the FreeBSD port of s3fs does not
use Linux emulation, could I piggyback off of it?
