read Cygwin-set Windows-EA-XATTRs from Linux?

[Philippe Cerfon]

Hey.

As far as I understand, it's newlib that maps Cygwins POSIX XATTRs
into Windows EAs, right?

Was there ever any consideration or effort, to make these readable as
"normal" POSIX XATTRs from the Linux vfat/ntfs/etc. drivers (perhaps
via some special mount option like mapped-xattrs=cygwin or so)?

Would be quite useful for me at least ;-)

Thanks,
Philippe.
