----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 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
