1) Symbolic links work for Windows Vista and higher if the user has administrative priveleges. 2) Junctions are a form of symbolic links for directories that cannot span network paths, which will not be a problem for modular boost organization. Junctions work on all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 on up and do not require any special priveleges.
I commonly build boost from a shared network drive. I would be surprised if this supported either option. (This is at "boost user with tarball" level though, not "boost developer with git", so I don't know if that's affected by this issue.)
