ICeCoffEE 1.4.x allows you to Command-click text in WebKit to launch the
selected URL (or Command-option-click to pop up a menu, etc.). ICeCoffEE 1.5.x
allows you to Command-click WebKit text to launch the URL surrounding that
point; you don't need to select it first.  This works in Safari, Mail and
nearly anywhere that uses WebKit (including when WebKit is being used as an
editor).

In either version, if what you're clicking is a link in non-editable text,
ICeCoffEE should detect the situation and not activate.  Unfortunately,
ICeCoffEE needs to rely on some non-public (and thus volatile) WebKit API. 
I've tried to restrict my use of it to as little as possible, but because the
WebKit internals have changed a few times, you'll need to use the newest
version — which is compatible with Safari 3.0 through the current WebKit trunk.

If you ever have problems with ICeCoffEE WebKit support, please let me know
(icecoffee at sabi.net).  I do know of one cosmetic bug with the selected text
being offset (though the correct URL should launch). This is WebKit bug 18794. 
Also, I intercept Command-clicks on plugins; this is wrong and I'll fix it in
the next version.

I do plan to remove the "Sorry, ICeCoffEE was unable to find any text to
select." dialog in the next version as it can be rather annoying and is pretty
pointless.

Sorry for hijacking this bug; in case someone searches for it I just want to
make sure they don't annoy the WebKit folks about a bug that isn't theirs.
