More code work today on the train. There is a new version up so you
can do the following to update to it:

# vagrant plugin update vagrant-dusty-sshfs

I also added a "command" so now you can run "vagrant sshfs" and it
will mount all of the sshfs synced folder entries from the
Vagrantfile.

Any updates on this working on Mac/Windows/etc..

I am working with the author of the original vagrant-sshfs plugin to
see if we can go with this implementation or if we need to make a new
name for it.
