/**
 * A label class that supports displaying an active hyperlink.
 *
 * KURLLabel is a drop-in replacement for QLabel that handles text
 * in a fashion similar to how an HTML widget handles hyperlinks.  The
 * text can be underlined (or not) and set to different colors.  It
 * can also "glow" (cycle colors) when the mouse passes over it.
 *
 * KURLLabel also provides signals for several events, including
 * the mouse leaving and entering the text area and all forms of
 * mouse clicking.
 *
 * A typical usage would be something like so:
 *
 * <PRE>
 *     KURLLabel *address = new KURLLabel(this);
 *     address->setText("My homepage");
 *     address->setURL("http://www.home.com/~me");
 *     connect(address, SIGNAL(leftClickedURL(const QString&)),
 *                      SLOT(processMyURL(const QString&)));
 * </PRE>
 *
 * In this example, the text "My homepage" would be displayed
 * as blue, underlined text.  When the mouse passed over it, 
 * it would "glow" red.  When the user clicks on the text, the
 * signal @ref leftClickedURL() would be emitted with "http://www.home.com/~me"
 * as its argument.
 *
 * @short A drop-in replacement for QLabel that displays hyperlinks.
