svn symlink support on windows

[mateuf]

Getting tired of reading svn doesn't properly do symlinks on windows
cause win doesn't support them. Can someone categorically claim mklink
on current windoze isn't  up to the job?
I know it is a command line and it requires admin rights. I don't bite
command line - just find an underlying API - if mklink does it
properly then any sw should be able to.
Are admin rights a problem? I'd imagine this must be quite a common
case for other scenarios on win. Surely this can be overcome?
