I am however curious what file system types the various implementations
of windows will return. These are the ones I am aware of:

HPFS (from OS2's High Performance File System)
NTFS
FAT Floppies and older (small) hard drives
FAT32
CDFS (CD-ROMS)

What else am I missing such as what does Novell or Samba return for one
of thier mounted drives? What do DVD's report as thier file system on
windows? What about zip drives and other removable drives? Any other
thing I missed?

AFAIK, read-write CDs use a special filesystem so they probably get
their own value. Samba probably reports whatever the share's underlying
filesystem is (at least if the server is a Windows machine). I suspect
zip drives just use what the user chooses, i.e. FAT or VFAT, maybe FAT32
though that seems quite unnecessary given their limited size.

err... ahem.. Oh come on... I appreciate you want to help but... How do I say this nicely...

AFAICS you are just guessing. I can do that... but it is not a good way to build specs.
I recall we got better specs on compile times.
