According to an article in November 1998 issue of MSJ there are hard links
with a new API called CreateHardLink. This is only available with Windows
2000 and symbolic links I think are somewhat different.

Symlinks are not support on WinNT, win 9x.  I had heard reports that Win
2000 (the WinNT replacement) would support them, but I haven't seen anything
to confirm that.

The choices I can think of in windows:

        -Copy the file
        -Use the original file
        -Use a Unix file system mounted to windows
         and link it in unix.
