Yes, I think that's the best way.  I guess it would still be a
separate program from sshfs, but sharing much of sshfs's code.

I had also thought about filling in the root directory at startup with
subdirectories named after the hosts mentioned in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
or ~/.ssh/config.  It's not as important, but might be nice.

Ok, I'll give it a try.
