Fuseftp is perl, is it slow? I guess the transfer time would dominate, anyway.

Hmm, I just tried unpackfs. Nice idea, but implementation is bad. Quite like
e2's unpack plugin except it covers a lot more archive types. Setting up to
open an archive is very clumsy, if the archive is a decent size it freezes the
UI, and no repacking (so no point in making changes, if that's possible). Might
be worth hacking on this fs, but low down on the priority list ...
Now that I look (fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems), there's a
bunch of interesting-looking fuse-based things, if only they work. Better yet,
there's nothing much to do to e2 to make the interface work.
