Wishlist feature + patch: url scanning for multi-line urls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a URL that spans more than one line
2. Use scan urls from the menu to search for it
3. Only the first part (on the first line) will be found

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like the full URL to be matched, instead of only the first part.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
SVN revision 404

Please provide any additional information below.
I have attached a patch against
src/org/connectbot/service/TerminalBridge.java to fix the issue. If still a
valid url, it will also match URL's splitted by a '+' character at the
right edge of the terminal (like Mutt does). Possible drawback: if a URL
actually end at the right edge of the terminal, and there is some text on
the next line, only a concatenation will be found.

The reason I didn't want to do this initially is it's easy to make mistakes as 
you
pointed out.

Perhaps a better solution would be to have a plus sign on the right or 
something that
grabs more text from the next line. Maybe even a way to edit the URL before it 
is opened.

I would advocate including this feature in a simple way akin to the suggested 
patch. Would it be difficult to just 
include both, the truncated URL as well as the best-guess concatentation if 
there appears to be more? The URL 
scan is already a guess. This would be a really nice feature to have.

I think this mostly works. URL regex probably needs to change.
