This is a rewrite of the url_matcher regexp to support generic URLs (i.e no need explicitly support "exotic" schemes like sftp, git etc). This branch also introduces "handlers", to be able to define different commands for different protocols (based on URL scheme).

In my humble opinion, the use of Regexp::Common::URI to handle URIs is flawed for this particular use case, in that it does not account for the "trailing character heuristic" and does not support HTTPS out of the box (you have to override to scheme regexp, as per the Regexp::Common::URI::HTTP documentation). The option to use Regexp::Common::URI is removed in this branch.

Please review carefully! I've only used it now for an hour or so and have yet to stumble upon really exotic corner cases :-).

This commit introduces a more generic URL parser, although not fully conforming
to RFC3986, it does try to place as few restrictions as possible on the URL,
while still not matching noise.
This change introduces the concept of "handler", a command that
handles a specific protocol. E.g., x-www-browser for handling http,
https and ftp (default). Pressing enter when marking URLs with
other schemes will no op. This still leaves us with the possibility
to yank the URL to the clipboard.
Guess scheme to be "http" if there is no real scheme in the URL,
but the domain is "www.*".

PS. This would thus also solve #1.

Ping? I'm also having this issue.
I think I'm going to use @olof 's fork in the meantime.

  foo() vs foo{}

This fixes warnings like (as seen on urxvt's stdout/err), if one ever
gets the idea of middle clicking a link:

  Odd number of elements in anonymous hash at $HOME/.urxvt/mark-yank-urls line 104.
  Use of uninitialized value $scheme in hash element at $HOME/.urxvt/mark-yank-urls line 40.

This bug was introduced in my commit adding "ability to define handlers
per protocol". Because of the age of the branch, I will refrain from
rebasing and let this be a tombstone of one of my many mistakes
throughout the years. The expected behavior (processing links on mouse
button2 key release) was confirmed to be working with this change
applied.
