I don't know.
Isn't an NTFS junction the closest equivalent to a symlink on Windows?
I don't know if APR supports NTFS junctions, just pointing out that
it is a prerequisite for such support in Subversion. If APR does not
support NTFS junctions yet, people should advocate for this support
to be added to APR (or better even create the necessary patches...)
If APR already supports NTFS junctions and this support is not used by
Subversion, we should at least open a corresponding issue in Subversion's
issue tracker if none exists yet.
