For files and directories, one could use "mklink" on Vista and newer, with the caveats mentioned here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Windows_Vista_symbolic_link>. Oh and for all those wondering, this still isn't enough to be a drop-in replacement for Cygwin's symbolic links unfortunately.
