$ more /usr/pkgsrc/filesystems/perfuse/DESCR
$ man refuse

AIUI, perfuse was implemented in order to provide "low level FUSE API"
access so that programs that wanted to speak the wire protocol to
/dev/fuse could work, as opposed to programs that compiled against the
FUSE API, and hence could link to librefuse.

I would expect encfs to use the normal API.  I am only aware of gluster
needing the /dev/fuse emulation.
