Symlinks require admin access and are only available from Windows Vista on. libuv should create [junction points](http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=205524) ([C++ interface](http://www.flexhex.com/docs/articles/hard-links.phtml#download)) if possible. Junction points only work on directories, so plainly using them for everything won't work either. Not sure what's the best way to do this.
