The standard "fsutil reparsepoint" command requires administrative
privilege, but there are other programs around that don't.

To my understanding, the original request was not for svn to grasp or
create junction points, but instead not to take notice. If the working
directory top is a junction point instead of a "real" directory, just
traverse it, like most software does on Windows, and like most software
treats a symbolic link on Unix. It seems like SVN or APR is being too
specific when checking the sanity of the working copy. But I lack
experience with the Windows API.
