Description
For magnet links, we should grok the ws= parameter, which specifies a webseed:
We might also want to interpret as= as specifying a webseed:

Finally, we might want to generate ws= when generating magnet links. (Not so sure about this one.)

Agree 100% with the ws= notation, both reading it in tr_magnetParse() and writing it in tr_torrentGetMagnetLink().
I don't think libtransmission should interpret magnet's Acceptable Source notation as an alias for webseed. It's not clear to me that as= couldn't be a link to the metadata instead of the data.

A question I have not seen an answer for:
How do you know what type of webseed it is, i.e. Hoffman-style or GetRight-style?

webseed magnet support is broken. crashes result
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:14FFE5DD23188FD5CB53A1D47F1289DB70ABF31E&dn=ubuntu+12+04+1+desktop+32+bit&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&ws
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:14FFE5DD23188FD5CB53A1D47F1289DB70ABF31E&dn=ubuntu+12+04+1+desktop+32+bit&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&ws=http://transmissionbt.com
two different problems.
webseedmagnetdis.patch stops these crashes but disables webseed support for magnet links ONLY. webseed is OK with .torrent metadata files
