Dired display is done primarily by ls.  If Cygwin ls displays what you want
then you can make dired use Cygwin ls; going to the ls customization buffer
and turning off the use of ls-lisp should suffice provided Cygwin ls is in
your path.  The ls used by NTEmacs by default is ls-lisp, which just formats
information provided to it by a compiled C function, so it's that function
that would need to be changed if the ls-lisp display is not satisfactory.
