Great job!
I was sitting for days trying to get it work on OSOL b111. I finally 
made it work but when I updated to 134 it stopped working again. The 
system just crashed hard whenever I tried to mount an NTFS volume (using 
"mount ntfs-3g ...."). I even managed (after quite a bit of bickering) 
to compile the at the time latest version of fuse (I think it was 2.8.2) 
but that didn't help. It's as people say at the Opensolaris forums: 
ntfs-3g is fragile.
So if you have managed to make it work reliably, all I can say is 
congratulations! If you wish to share how you overcame the obstacles, 
that would be much appreciated.

Robin.
