Unsure if there's anything to mount BSD partitions from within Windows- 
I wouldn't be surprised, but as Windows uses broken/different 
permissions and file attributes, I wouldn't really want to do this.

For mounting Windows filesystems, you can mount fat/vfat/fat32 
partitions all day long read-write, but NTFS uses some sort of sequence 
IDs in their file attributes, which if ignored or screwed up, can cause 
serious issues on the filesystem....so in short, I don't mount NTFS 
read/write ;-)
