[gedit-list] Extend gedit to open URLs in default browser

["Dave (My-IOP)" <dave my-iop com>]

I see others have asked for a URL Launcher to allow detection and launching in default browser of URLs within document (http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins).

Is this available yet? If not, would a small donation be enough motivation to make it available quickly?

I would like to have gedit work so that when the cursor is anywhere in a url (such as www.ubuntuforums.org,
either beginning with "http://" or just "www.") it can select that full URL automatically, pass the
URL to the default browser, and if the browser is already open, open the URL in
a new tab.

(It would also be great if the functionality to open local documents the same way existed too.)
