Thanks, this is great.
Looks like, as in improvement over \hyphenatedurl, it allows you to
specify that you can break before a character, after, or both.
I think I can even see how to use it in a document...
though, would I have to undo the initial \catcode commands after the
\egroup?
Also, I don't see a way to prevent breaking between two slashes...
unless you treat them as part of a separate hbox:
\hbox{http://}\ForMojcaWhoLikesHacks{www.sil.org/silesr/}
which is not a big problem.
Thanks,
Lars
