Dokan: FUSE SSHFS for Cygwin

Dokan appears to be a work in progress. Basically it is intended to allow users of Cygwin to connect a [secure] remote file system (using SSHFS) under Windows just as is possible under the *nixish operating systems & MacOS.

Note that the version of SSHFS we downloaded has a dependency on Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)/ This dependency is documented on the Dokan Download Page.

Note that we are installing this under WinXP w/ all current service packs, Cygwin, and ActiveState Perl.
