ext2fs access from Cygwin



Oh, well... User mode access is _definitely_ going to be much easier,
albeit quite more limiting.

As of the usefulness of an ext2 IFS, remind NT can map UNIX/POSIX
attributes (NTFS does the reverse). Shame the Micro$oft folks don't
document its structure just like they did for Win9x - maybe we should
suggest the OSR or PCAUSA people to demonstrate their toolkit by providing
an ext2fs for NT 4.0 _AND_ Win2k demo (read only might be still useful)...
