[sshfs] sshfs idmap

Hi, I'm using sshfs in conjunction with autofs.
Unfortunately, this means that the mounting user is
always root.

In this context, the idmap option is, unfortunately,
grossly inadequate. It can at most translate remote_id
to local_root (which is worse than no translation at
all). Why not allow an idmap=MAP_FILE argument?

Oh yeah: other than this, sshfs is awesome and has
solved my needs quite nicely. But running it from
autofs sucks (or maybe I'm missing something...)

Another option seems to be using afuse. That package,
however, has a weird dependency on pkg-config (the
author probably assumed that it's OK to impose that on
everybody) which makes it hard to build on Fedora.
