question on symbolic links and windows

I have the need to support symbolic links in my repository. But, when
checked out on windows I'm not getting the regular file the symlink
points to, but instead end up with a text file having content "link
../somefile.txt".

For example, my repsoitroy has the following structure as a test
    ./test.txt
    ./testfolder/test.txt -> ../test.txt

When this is checked out on windows the file .\test.txt is fine, but the
file testfolder\test.txt contains the text "link ../test.txt".

What am I doing wrong?

(subversion server and client are 1.5.2)

Thanks much,
    -Steve
