| Allow non-root block device mounts when using external fuse. |

| The internal libfuse has the ability to drop and restore privileges |
| using setresuid() when ntfs3g is installed with suid root. However, Chrome OS |
| does not install with suid root, but rather launches ntfs3g as a regular |
| user with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. This renders the internal libfuse |
| privilege dropping code ineffective and unnecessary. Because of this, the |
| safety check to prevent unsafe use of ntfs3g compiled with external libfuse |
| can be removed, allowing ntfs3g to be compiled with external libfuse. |
