DirtyPunk pointed me to a neat bit of whackiness underlying NTFS, known as alternative data streams. Basically a single record can hold multiple distinct files under the same filename, but distinguished by a colon after the filename. Here is some information about it for those who are curious. Of course there\'s always the possibility for abuse.
