#569: strings with more than one URL in them mis-parsed

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
It appears that strings with more than one URL in them are parsed
incorrectly. For example,
{{{
See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API> and <http://haskell.forkio.com/>
}}}
gets treated as though there was only one URL. I get the impression that
there's some kind of greedy matching going on, like a "<.*>" in regexp
terms.
This manifests as funny looking output on hackage, eg.
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/mediawiki
