Summary: Linkify - perl plugin to linkify text

Initial Comment:
ABOUT

ChatZilla (a part of Mozilla) had a neat feature that I
missed in GAIM:
whenever someone typed something like "bug 1234", it
would wrap it in
a link to http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1234 , so I
could just click on
it to see the relevant bug.  I liked the feature enough
that I decided
to write a plugin for GAIM to do it.  Of course,
there's no challenge in
just creating bugzilla links, so I spent too much time
making a general-
purpose user-definable link-wrapping script. (:

HOW TO USE IT

Create a text file in ~/.gaim called linkify.cfg . 
Within it, put
regexp-URL pairs like this:

    # Lines with '#' are comments
    bug\s+([0-9]+)   http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$1

Backreferences to the regexp are substituted into the
URL as needed.
Only you (and your GAIM logs, if you use them) will see
the linkified text;
other people in the conversation won't get the extra
link garbage
on their screen.  (Which is just as well, since it's
probably text they
typed which is being linkified!)  This also means that
you get handy links
even in IRC chats, where HTML is meaningless.

Linkify won't linkify text that's already in an <a>
tag, or text that's
part of an HTML tag.  Linkified text is given the class
"gaim-linkify"
to distinguish it from other links.

CREDITS

Thanks to Nicholas Killewald for help allowing
user-definable backreferences.
Thanks to the GAIM team for making such a useful program!

Gaim seems to freeze every time I try to enable this plugin.
 Is there a newer version out?

Version 0.004 adds an explicit 'returnj' to each callback so
they don't eat messages.

Version 0.003 fixes a bug where already-linkified text could
get re-linkified (possibly even corrupting the tags) if
multiple rules applied to the same chunk of text.
