;------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a lot of scripts that do this kind of thing, but i still thought it would be nice to have another that people could customize.

Just select a url or something that looks like a url in any program and hit hotkey to open proper web page in browser.
Fixes urls that are malformed (missing prefixes, extra surrounding characters, etc.)
If you select a non-url phrase a web search is conducted
Compiled exe included that uses default browser and hotkey Ctrl+Space, but autohotkey source is provided you can customize
Cleans up split-line urls, perfect for email urls
