Only when you use sufficiently new version and NTFS file system.

I assume that variants have basically these features:
- they are built into separate directory,
- each variant has it's own tup.config,
- there may be multiple variants at the same time.

So if we'd like to have "variants" only as a clever script then:
- the first thing can be easily achieved with lua parser (or with tup parser if you don't need the hierarchy of folders to be copied),
- the second one would need a change in tup's behavior,
- the last one can be probably achieved right now (someone demonstrated this a while ago).

Using scripting is the most generic solution that solves ALL the problems:
- there's no problem with debugger failing to find sources because of FUSE or removed symlinks,
- there's no problem of copying,
- there's no problem of each platform requiring different solution,
- you can have any hierarchy of variants you want (currently only "flat" hierarchy is possible - all variants must be in $(TOP)),
- ...
