Wubi seems to be using ext3 on a loopmounted file.

AFAIK (which may not be correct), it should support all the normal
ext3 features that Wine would be using? (If the home folder is on that
partition and not, say, a mount --bind version of the NTFS My
Documents....)

Running things from the NTFS partition will probably be problematic though...
