Well now it implements synthetic filesystems through FUSE, and FUSE is
not available on Windows. Even worse, there's no good way of
implementing synthetic filesystems in userspace on Windows.

In principle you can use upspin without kernel support for mounting
synthetic filesystems, just like you can conceivably use 9P without
the ability to mount filesystems in the namespace, but the effect of
this is unclear.

I don't have a good understanding if the usual, desired mode of
operation is through the file system or through the protocols
directly, via libraries and commands.
