  Description     : An Overlay or Union filesystem for FUSE

Funionfs is a filesystem which concatenate two or more directories.
These directories are hierarchised by Funionfs.
Typically, you could use a mounted filesystem wich is in read-only where
you only read files and an upper filesystem (empty at the mount time)
where you write modifications.
Funionfs is very useful for embedded linux (the system must resist
powerfail), for live-cd Linux or for diskless system where you mount
derived root filesystems on your various remote systems.
