Does this release support listing Windows Alternate Data Streams, as the Linux
release does with Tuxera NTFS-3G?

libattr only supports reading and writing EAs, it has no capabilities to
read or write ADS. Ntfs-3g supports the streams_interface=windows
option which allows to read ADS. This also adds the ntfs.streams.list
EA to a file with named ADS. So attr/getfattr can only inspect the
ntfs.streams.list EA because the NTFS-3G driver creates them on the fly
when inspecting the file EAs.
tl;dr: No, sorry. This could only work if Cygwin fakes the
ntfs.streams.list EA per file just like the NTFS-3G driver.
Patches welcome. Looks like a nice little project if you want to get
your hands dirty. The functions to handle EAs are pretty
self-sufficiently implemented in ntea.cc. A little loop about
NtQueryInformationFile(FileStreamInformation) should do it.

Would that be something you'd like to work on, Brian?

Not anything I really knew or cared about, except as a potential attack vector
or Windows curiosity.

Too bad, but I guess the functionality isn't that important.
