The other option would be an AFP server for Windows (such as MacServerIP or ExtremeZ-IP) but these are expensive.  If anyone is using these and gets good results I'd like to know.  They do offer free trials.

There's another, free, option: OpenAFS (http://www.openafs.org). It generally works well both on Mac OS X and Windows (we use it our department), although I'm not sure how difficult it is to set up the server side.

There's one bug in the current Mac client that may or may not be a deal breaker though: if you try to process a largish static library that resides on an AFS volume with ranlib, then ranlib crashes with a bus error (there's some bug in its handling of writing to mmap'ed files).
