TFVC alternative to share feature

I'm looking for ideas as alternatives in TFVC to using the SourceGear Vault Share feature. At the moment I have 2 sets of shared code libraries that I use for multiple solutions - an older (messier) set which compiles to .NET 3.5 and a newer cleaner set which compiles to .NET 4. The 2 sets use different root namespaces but have a number of classes in common which I currently implement by sharing them in Vault. I do want to keep the code in sync in both places - I don't want to branch or copy them. Anyone have any ideas?

Have multiple projects/solutions (a .Net 3.5 solution/projects + .Net 4 solution/projects). But use linked files to have the projects reference the same .cs files where appropriate.
