 Parentheses are valid characters in URLs, for instance:

 {{{
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Tools_(Central_Point_Software)
 }}}

 But it also common to include a URL reference inside of parentheses that
 aren't part of a URL, like:

 {{{
 (http://www.example.com/)
 }}}

 The make_clickable() function in -trunk works for the second case, but not
 the first.  The link it creates doesn't include in the trailing paren.

 The pattern that seems to work is if the first and last characters (second
 example) are parens then don't include the trailing paren in the URL.  If
 the first character isn't a paren (the first example) then include the
 trailing paren in the URL.

 I'm including a simple patch to make make_clickable() work correctly for
 these URLs.

 I think WP used to work this way, I suspect rev 11844 changed this
 behavior.
