What does the filename or content-type look like for one of those?  I
have a mapping there now for it for "url, link" (tests....oops, Link
objects don't know from PUT).  We'll need to fix this too, then.  Please
do let us know what the PUT will look like for Win32 shortcuts (filename
pattern, content type, and file layout).
