[plug] OT: Ext2Fsd an Ext2 file system driver for WinNT/Win2K/WinXP

XP runs Ext2FSD OK, but you'll need Win2000 to be able to share the
drive over Windows File Sharing.
You need to load ext2fsd then net share {driveletter}: LinuxShare - XP
Write enabling is still dodgy, but stable enough to leave to
customers...

Great for security work as it read only, the accessed and modified dates
don't get changed, and everything can be done transparently to the
customer :)

Still wouldn't use it for *RUNNING* WinXP off though, as the ext2fsd
driver doesn't load until other drivers are required (like PCI.SYS :) )
