FYI, there are hard linking methods in windows; they're called junctions 
(win 2k, XP, and 2003) and can be used with the sysinternals junction 
program (http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/junction.html).  It is 
open source, but not free software (the code is available, but may only 
be distributed with permission).

I don't know how much refactoring will be required use juctions, but it 
may be possible to do.  (Perhaps this could be a feature request, but I 
know nothing about how hard that would be to get working.)
