Amit Singh has added support for a whole bunch of early UNIX filesystem and
archive formats to FUSE.

Does this depend heavily on OS X, or should it work on Linux and BSD as well?

OK, a checkout and compile-attempt later I can tell you that it doesn't
cook directly out of the box into the pot. Should not be that much magic
to get it cooking thought.

As for portability, yes, I have kept AncientFS limited to the cross

it should work on other FUSE implementations with few changes.

I've modified the code so compiles on FreeBSD but dlsym() still does not
work:
root@nudel ancientfs> ./ancientfs --type v7 --dmg v7_rl02_1145 /mnt/tmp
Undefined symbol "unixfs_v7"
invalid file system type v7
Exit 255
dlsym() is kinda new to me so I'm a bit lost...
I've uploaded a diff to the svn checkout which is mentioned on Amits page
here:
http://pofo.de/tmp/ancientfs_20081218_01.diff
The changes are
- casting to satisfy %llu and %lu printf
- Makefile adjustments
- enhance endian checks to support BYTE_ORDER
- work around undefined OSSwap functions
