I got it to work like so:

[start snippet from /etc/mailcap]
# ----- User Section Begins ----- #

application/x-mswinurl; /usr/local/bin/mswinurl_launcher.py '%s';
test=test -n ""; description="MS Windows .url file"; nametemplate=%s.url

# -----  User Section Ends  ----- #
[end snippet from /etc/mailcap]

[start snippet from /etc/mime.types]
application/x-mswinurl                         url
[end snippet from /etc/mime.types]

# ls -l /usr/local/bin/mswinurl_launcher.py 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2117 2010-03-02 11:54 /usr/local/bin/mswinurl_launcher.py

That's it.

OK, so who do we poke?  Do we need to give it to upstream?
