Not currently; not from Lisp, anyway (AFAICS).  (Actually, you could
try add-name-to-file and if it succeeds, deduce that you are on NTFS,
but that's an ugly and expensive kludge.)

We could easily add a primitive to return the filesystem type, but I'd
prefer not to add any new features before the release.
