To resucitate this old thread.  I just found out that... no.  Not real 
symlinks.  They are still a joke.

Limitations:
        - Only 31 symlinks per directory (640K is enough, right?)
        - Incompatible with other windows.
        - Relative symlinks are still restricted to a single volume.
        - NTFS only, not on FAT.
        - mklink forces you to distinguish between a file or dir symlink
          (joke, joke, joke)
        - Restricted to administrators by default.
