So, I tried it with fuse-ext2 (mount RO) and ntfs-3g
(fusefs-ntfs).

Both work.  Interrupting a transfer also doesn't seem to cause
problems.

Reading from NTS was pretty fast at >= 65MiB/sec.  I suspect that
most FBSD users will use NTFS in this way.

Hard to say whether writing to NTFS is faster than it was before
because the transfer rate bounces around all over the place. 
Sometimes a few 100KiB, sometimes 10s of MiB.  I suspect that the
small transfers are associated with filesystem bookkeeping. 
Small tranfers are most frequent.

NOTE that I had to reinstall fusefs-ntfs (I had a really old
version) for it to work.  I tried it with and without LOCK and
UBLIO but no real difference in speed was noticeable.

NOTE2 that writing to NTFS was tested by copying a 5.2GiB file
from a SATA SSD to a 64GiB USB3 stick plugged into a USB3 port.
I then used /usr/bin/sum to test integrity.  The result was
identical for both files, so that's good news.
