are you sure this works?

afaik, w32 "shortcuts" are not "links" (as in unix) but ("text") files 
which hold the name of the file they are "referencing" too. btw, these 
files have the extension .lnk

the application has to be aware of the meaning of such files and 
evaluate them accordingly (w32 explorer naturally has this built in, 
but i doubt whether pd could use it "out of the box")

so w32 "links" are one of the biggest fakes in fs history. i hope they 
have a patent on it.

otoh, if it works: fine (they have finally have managed to mount 
harddisks into an existing filesystem (whoa) and not as "X:"; probably 
they have implemented links too)

and if it does work: put all your externals into one directory (with 
subdirectories) and just link this directory to the various versions of 
pd.
