Creating a linux symlink on Windows?

I'm working with a large distributed server with different platforms, and need all of my computers to be able to communicate with the hub server and create symbolic links in its filesystem. Is there a command which will create a link compatible with non-NTFS file-systems (something akin to ln -s in linux/unix)?

You can do it using mklink

for example if you are somewhere in c:\games and would like to make a symlink "tmp" to c:\temp

mklink /D tmp "c:\temp"

symbolic links work in (at least) Windows7 and are called junctions
