Comment(by markus.doits@…):

 finally, below is another fully working attempt.

  * ntfs-3g does not need to be patched
  * it's all done by a shell script

 before going into details, first let me say that the "auto_xattr"-option
 is even used by the mount-script from tuxera in macntfs-3g, so should be
 safe.

 the patch to the portfile does the following:

  * copy a mount_ntfs-shell-script to ${prefix}/sbin/mount_ntfs and chmod
 755
  * add a variant display what to do after installation if you want the
 automount to happen

 the files/mount_ntfs mounts ntfs-volumes correctly to display them in the
 finder, see the comments inside

 there's no error checking nor displaying when something goes wrong, but
 that could be implemented if needed.

 any comments?
