In case you didn't recognize the difference to your first try: You can
use a directory as the second argument to ln as well, then it will
create a link with the same name as the basename of the file in the
first argument in that directory. All the backtick and find tricks
suggested in the other answers of this thread are nice, but way
overkill to your problem. 

Keep it simple, stupid. ;)
