throwing while polymorphed

<Someone> suggested that a dragon, lacking hands, shouldn't be able to
throw things.  Dragons can pick things up, and it seems they can throw
things the same way.  However, it does seem that a notake() monster, which
cannot pick things up, shouldn't be able to throw things either.
