the shortcuts created by backupdb need the "Run as Administrator" flag for Vista #8

There is no direct or documented way to do this, but it is possible to do
by directly manipulating the underlying .LNK file, so I need to look into
creating a script routine which directly manipulates the .LNK file to set
the bit.

In r4 I checked in part of the fix accidentally, the rest goes in with r5

The actual script function that modifies the .lnk file has already been 
exercised
somewhat in the GSS patcher used in the first GSS2.5 LiveUpdate, so it should 
work
reasonably well.

Changed state: Fixed

It turns out that this wasn't working since the target of the shortcut wasn't an
executable, fixed in r9 along with additional tests where the scripts will also 
try
and request elevation themselves.
