avfs for Debian
---------------

To use this filesystem the user has to access to /dev/fuse and the fuse
utilities. On Debian this normally means that the user has to be part of the
group fuse.

The shared library hasn't been packaged so far because I don't know a single
application using it. This might change in the future.

Webdav support is disabled for the time being because it needs some more work.

This package comes with several libraries build in, namely zlib and bzlib. The
usage of the normal shared libs is impossible unfortunately. Here's upstream
reasoning:

---
AVFS uses a modified verion of zlib which can create snapshots of the
compression state.  This allows seeking within the gzipped file
without having to cache the whole uncompressed file.

This makes it impossible to use the shared zlib, unfortunately.
