Oh bite me! :-)
You know this sort of thing falls well outside POSIX. It would be inside a
non-portability #ifdef.
But if you want me to get all pedantic, I could write a protocol interface,
spoken through a named socket - which is POSIX portable - through which anyone
could write their own message store interface adapters as external interfaces.
Actually, that's my preferred scheme. But it's not trivial to do – on either
side – so FUSE seemed like a more practical solution.
