no, in windows i believe you'd have to physically copy the module files to the lib folders, because many applications dont "follow" shortcuts like they would symlinks
as for the original post, i believe theres not much difference putting it in /lib or /site/lib for a windows installation. it would be more relevant however (correct me if im wrong) in a multi-user environment like unix/linux.
