I wrote a prototype script that does what I described earlier... grabs
anything that looks like an URL from a urxvt terminal.

I took a few shortcuts, so I will have to fix them at some point.
First, it only sees one URL per line. Second, I don't use X selections
but fiddle with the reverse-video to higlight the URL as it's being
selected. Third, I didn't know how to select text from perl, so I have
this evil hack:
system ("echo $text | xclip -i");
Eeeeeew!
And, now that I have written bad perl code, Dave will sure to help. :)
Eventually, I want to add screen-like block yanking support... might as
well do better then screen and support block selections also.
