I'd say that junction points were a great way to expose this feature under Win32 - after all, isn't it specifically what they were designed for? Incidentally, at least one other application uses them for exactly this purpose; a commercial source control tool named Accurev supports checked-in symlinks on Windows as well as *nix etc. The added advantage of junction points over whatever new API Vista exposes is that it'll work on at least XP (maybe even Win2K?)
