That sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately Microsoft won't
easily permit it, since they require closed source for file system
API (you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and pay $995US
to them http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/IFSkit/xporderfaq.asp and
that may only get you a license for code that works with the
current version of Windows). Check their site for more accurate
info than my quick impression.
