Here are the solutions I see (in order of increasing complexity):

1) built-in FTP server in the SLIRP layer.

2) On the fly read-only FAT drive built from a host directory content. 
It is complementary to (1) to enable booting without a disk image ((2) 
is used with (3) in dosemu for example).

3) dosemu MSDOS redirector. Would only work with MSDOS based OSes (maybe 
up to Windows Me).

4) Integrated SMB server in the SLIRP layer. SMB is complicated because 
it has many variants. If an early version works with all Windows version 
it can be interesting.

5) Windows specific filesystem driver talking directly with QEMU.
