This is my effort to create a unionfs filesystem implementation which is probably slower but way more flexible than the current in-kernel unionfs solution. Currently it's almost fully usable, the only problem is new file/directory creation which I will fix soon...

I'm open to patches, suggestions, whatever (at radek@podgorny.cz)...

== Why choose this stuff ==

 * The filesystem has to be mounted after the roots are mounted when using the standard module. With unionfs-fuse, you can mount the roots later and their contents will appear seamlesly
 * You get caching which speeds things up a lot for free
 * You get nice stats (optional)

== Why NOT choose it ==

 * Compared to kernel-space solution we need lots of useless context switches which makes kernel-only solution clear speed-winner

== Available parameters ==

 * {{{--roots=/root1,/root2}}}
 * {{{--stats}}}

== TODO ==

 * Add support for creating directories
 * Add support for choice which roots are read-only and which are not
 * Add cache controls
 * Handle writing to /stats intelligently
