Yep, it does, and it even maps Unix-y file permissions ontop of NTFS. 
Not wanting to stray too far off-topic, but Cygwin's pretty great (MSYS 
also good, DJGPP I've had problems with) - I use it at work for most of my 
desktop development including cross-compilation via GCC, Perl scripting, 
and generally having an rxvt with bash/sed/awk/grep/etc environment on 
2k/XP.
