Comment:

 You need to be careful about including parentheses in function to make
 links, As (http://blah.com/) should not be matched as a link, only the
 insides, yet http://blah.com/something(else)_another should..

 There are some link parsing regular expressions around which deal with
 those cases specifically, somethin more robust might be required.
