I have already bored to death everybody on this mailing list by saying that 'b2 headers' should create symbolic links instead of hard links on Windows when the end-user has the administrative rights to do so. I believe Steve Watanabe is on top of this and if it is not working that way now it will be eventually.
It's done in develop.
On Windows I checked out 'develop' at the modular-boost level and 'develop' at the Boost Build level. Then I re-ran .\bootstrap, deleted my current boost sub-directory, then re-ran .\b2 headers. The result is still hardlinks for individual files under the boost subdirectory. Did I miss something ? If I try 'mklink mylink bootstarp.log' I am successful so I definitely have rights to creating a symbolic file link.
