+    # steps, especially when integrating with XcodeProj files. But still *I*

+    # Anyway, I've reimplemented it so we get what we want. Sure this is more 
+    # maintenance, but surely the point of something like Homebrew is we
+    # do it properly for you. Otherwise you may as well just install yourself!

+  def caveats
+    <<-EOS
+We seriously recommend installing the official MacFuse binary package
+available here: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
+
+If you still want to use Homebrew's compile you need to do additional steps
+And you absolutely should chown the kext files to root.
