At the moment it just treats them as opaque partitions. If they are
on a disk which you have selected for migration, then they are
migrated along with the rest.
The plan is to look into them more deeply and rewrite key files /
install PV drivers as necessary, but Windows / NTFS isn't high on my
list of priorities. Patches are welcome of course.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
