Using the EA API as ntfs-3g with the streams_interface=xattr option seems like a nice way to allow reading and writing ADS on Cygwin as well. Do you know how ntfs-3g performs the mapping? For instance, I guess that ADS are stored in the user.* namespace? Does listxattr list ADS or does it skip them? Stuff like that.
