You might also consider (I think it's different):
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm
I recently came across someone who has been using this driver to install
his windows games onto an ext2 partition (perhaps it was ext3 but I
don't think so) for over a year without problems as he finds it faster
than ntfs/fat! No sharing data or anything involved, simply the
traditional gamers "I need another frame per second" buzz.
I didn't stop laughing for quite a while after I heard that.
ymmv of course.
