There were compatibility problems with uClibc, but those have now been
addressed in the standard fuse libs as well.

I actually think fuse-lite is a good thing (as long as someone is
maintining it): it allows dynamically changing projects like ntfs-3g
to distribute and link their own version of libfuse, which contains
the latest features they need. Not having to wait for these features
to slowly make it into distributions can be a big advantage.

At the same time fuse-lite doesn't need to carry all the source and
binary compatibility cruft that the standard fuse lib needs, so
statically linking it has a relatively small overhead.
