I believe that question was meant to be semi-ironic.
VSS users get used to using shared files as a way to get around Windows'
lack of hard and symbolic links. (It turns out that NTFS has support for
them, but there's no UI to create them. I know hard links are there, but I
don't know if it has symbolic links.) Links are indeed a handy thing, and
it sucks that you have to hack them with VSS instead of getting them
natively in the OS.
Recent versions of SVN do support versioning of symbolic links, using a
property. But it does you no good if your OS can't make use of them.
As you say, you can emulate sharing at the directory level through
svn:externals. How useful that is to you depends on your use case. You
probably have to change your work practices to leverage that, moving your
shared files into a separate subdirectory.
