Yes, but it's out-of-date and it was just an idea how to
do it (however the binary on blastwave implements it).
Some things are maybe a bit unexpected; like ".." can
be a file and the path in $PWD is relative. There might
be better approaches...

Not that I'm aware of... It might be worth to look how
shells under Cygwin/MinGW/UWIN/etc. implement
multiple streams on NTFS and how they are mapped
when mounted on Unix (I understand that was one of
the reasons extended file attributes were introduced
in Solaris).

IIRC, when you mv a file between two different file systems then
the extended attributes are also copied. That's not the case for
ksh's builtin mv, so it will be disabled and Solaris native mv used.
