That comment riddle me a bit, if I have understood it correctly you are saying,
that as the code is now, it should be able to return a NTFS junction as a
directory. It is more a matter of me setting up Apache or NTFS junction
correctly.

I have only read some of the source code for mod_dav, I haven't set up a prober
build environment as I lack the skills to do so. I'll wish I could test and see
how the code handles the NTFS junctions directories, when making a directory
listing but having no previous experience in building Apache or writing C code
I find that a bit hard. 

What I can tell you is that even though mod_dav doesn't accept my NTFS junction
as directory when making a listing of the directory where the junction folder
is. (long sentence sorry), I'm able to browse/copy/upload the contents of the
junction folder, when writing the complete path in my web_dav client.
