Actually, Windows kind of supports symbolic links. But (IIRC) you need
the resource kit to be able to create them.
Even then, I'm not sure if Tomcat will follow them - btw, Tomcat won't
follow a symbolic link under Linux, unless you have it enabled in the
config (allowLinking must be set to true for the Context - it's false by
default).
