This is for processing data and the Windows "imposed" binaries (because of libraries) are only the first part of the process: the bulk of the treatment is afterwards on a POSIX node (actually a NetBSD one). For sharing data with Windows (and MacOSX), a good work has been done, on NetBSD by Reinoud Zandijk, for UDF support. But this will impose to process data under Windows (in a VM) and, later, when this is done, to retrieve the data in a shared storage to process it afterwards. Since I have Windows nodes available (almost just for this), it is not a problem and a VM will just take processors time on a node (with NetBSD) that is already doing quite some work. I would have liked to test piping the processes just invoking wine (for console programs) as a part of the pipe, not writing huge amount of temporary data being a huge win...
