Yes.  This code actually worked at some point too and made sure that
GET, HEAD and POST was installed as symbolic links to lwp-request.  But
for the last few years we have ended up with a copy when the installer
copied the stuff out of blib.

For upcoming libwww-perl 5.64 the symlinking trickery is gone.  This
also makes GET, HEAD, POST functional on Windows.
