Enable clickable links in Mudlet MUD client.

Problem

This was admittedly something I wrote because I hate having to copy/paste links/URLs out of something to paste into my browser. Especially since copying text out of the MUD client respects spaces and line feeds. Ordinarily this not a problem, but if a really long URL spans several lines due to text wrapping and line indenting, you have to use an intermediate step of notepad or something to collapse all the whitespace so you can then copy/paste it AGAIN into your browser. I'm getting mad about it all over again.

Outcome

A tiny Mudlet package that makes URLs in your MUD output actually clickable. That's it. Click link, open browser. The kind of thing that should just work but didn't, so now it does.
