ummmm

from the ltools website:

LTOOLS (old name:LREAD)
The LTOOLS are a set of command line tools to read and write Linux 
extended 2 filesystems (Linux's standard filesystem) from DOS or Windows 
(XP, 2000, NT, ME, 9.x or 3.x) running on the same machine. So whenever 
you're running DOS or Windows and you desperately need to read or write 
that most important file, which resides on your Linux disk, you should 
use it ... Besides that, you can repair your Linux system from DOS, if 
your Linux system does not boot anymore ...

I don't think this is gonna conflict at all really unless we start 
rolling out a W32 port of lunar

sofar

(besides they already changed their project once too)
