I guess that's true considering what's offered as included tools with the operating system, however the filesystem itself seems to offer such capability and a tool which exposes the capability is the NTFS-Junction tool which was first produced by Mark Russinovich and published on www.sysinternals.com (a company which since has been bought by Microsoft).
The current point of publication is http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx

I don't think Roy was suggesting you use symbolic links at all - they don't really exist in Windows. He was suggesting that you create a set of hook scripts that do nothing except call a centralised hook script that does the real work e.g.
@echo off
c:\centralisedhookdir\real_precommit_hook.bat %1% ....
Another possibility is putting your hooks directory and your conf directory under version control and exporting them into each repository. You may even be able to check them out into each repository although the svn server might get confused by the .svn directories.
EDIT:
I tried putting the conf directory of a throwaway repository into its own repository and it seems the .svn directory doesn't upset things - at least using the file:/// protocol.
