Yes. I do, now.  Copy the aforementioned \CFNetwork.resources directory 
and its contents (I copied everything, but it may be that types.plist is 
sufficient) to whatever directory you copied CoreFoundation.dll.  The 
file: scheme is now working for me.  Bill, you might want to try that.

And someone might want to add that tidbit of info to the wiki.  Well, it 
*IS* a wiki -- I suppose I could do it...
