Like I said, modifying TFTP for R/W would be a good option. It's already there,
the "miminalists" can't complain about having it removed (e.g. it may one day
be used to support "virtual" netboots), and one can use ftp clients for the
tftp server (I think).

tftp requires a tftp client. It shares nothing in common with FTP.

But windows host has native SMB support. Surely the wrapper could be altered
to support using SMB via win32 ?

The wrapper is just a thin user-net pipe glue to automatically start Samba when the SMB port is accessed. In the Windows world the equivalence is a port redirection of the SMB port to the SMB service on the host, or talking to the host address directly.. and requires you to have privileges to set up the share permissions on the Windows host.
