Hi,
 Thanks for the report,

Currently we haven't approved FUSE for BSD, hence having fuse translator is
not supported as such. But I heard that few users got it to working using
fuse port in bsd. Not sure though.

Not sure of it, will check, mostly I had a system with alloca.h file. Will
check it out.

Sadly struct dirent members are different on each OS. But when I last
compiled over BSD, i didn't had problem. I will check this too, and commit
the fix. Meanwhile, comment the line in posix.c and continue the
compilation. Let me know if other things break too.
