First of all, fuse is in the ubuntu package tree, maybe not in main but 
it's in universe or multiverse.  Second, there's no need to compile your 
own kernel, you can simply compile the kernel module.  And to custom 
compile fuse and have it working on ubuntu you might have to install 
gcc3.3 and use that instead of gcc4 because the kernel is compiled with 
3.x.  There should be documentation available on the ubuntu forums or 
wiki about this, I can't remember the exact syntax right now.
