No, not yet.

The user Bryan on the mailing list started to implement the necessary
Dokan bindings. I already helped him out with a lot of technical details
via Google Chat.

However, he hasn't committed any code to this branch yet and did not
answer on my messages for more than four weeks. Therefore, I'm currently
not sure if his efforts are lost now.

That means it's probably up to me again ;-) I'm currently busy with
other things and have to see when I'll get to it.

If somebody wants to help out, we would really appreciate it :-) If
you're familiar with C++ and Windows and want to collaborate with us on
the Dokan bindings, just contact us. Everything is already in place: we
created a branch for Bryan [1] which compiles on Windows (using Visual
Studio) and successfully links against the Dokan library. What's left,
is to implement the missing stubs of the "DokanAdapter" [2], similar to
the "FuseAdapter" [3]. Most of the time will be probably required for
testing everything. Please send me an email if you're interested to work
on this.

Best regards,
Michael
