Clickable @names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When an @name is encountered, this should be clickable and bring the user
to the @name's profile (when clicked).

first take at making clickable @name implemented.  Right now it opens in browser
window. Ideally it should open in the User's tab.

@name detection should use regex.  RI've seen it break on @name: @name' @@name

Ok, so with the fix we are building the hyperlink just around the user name 
with all
non-word characters removed. It's a simple regex. "@(\w)+" but it appears to 
pick out
"@foo" correctly in these cases.
@foo
@foo:
@@foo
@@foo:
@@foo:-
@foo-

The original word is preserved, but the hyperlink only surrounds the actual
"@username" pattern. I'm not sure how his will work if we choose to localize 
Witty in
the future.

I added functionality in a recent commit to SVN that opens the user timeline in 
the 
User tab when you click on the @username.
