I was contemplating the same problem. It seems that ext3 is tricky,
and ext2 is only convenient (and free) in read only. So unfortunately
it seems to be vfat.

I have found one other possibility though: coLinux. You can run a
small i386 linux root inside of Windows, and use it to export any
filesystem via NFS or smb.
