[ale] Windows file system drivers for ext2/3

[Benjie]

Your best bet is to stay with a shared fat32 partition.  I have seen several
attempts at writing a windows driver for ext2,  but in my experience none of
them have been very stable or easy to setup.
I'm curious though, what are you doing that you need a file larger than 2
GB?  Backups?
