I like this idea; I think that's probably what the majority of people  
use the file column for anyway.  Would we need a separate column for  
non-file links?

Local-Url is deprecated right now.  Much of its functionality will  
still be present (maybe until 1.4?), but it would be better to switch  
as soon as possible.  If there's something missing that keeps you from  
using the new stuff, this is the time to let us know...
