Links are not automatically created

[qwwwest]

GitHub automatically creates links from standard URLs...
but php-markdown does not do it unless the link is placed between '<' and '>'

The original Markdown syntax does not automatically link text that looks like a link. This is an extension of Github-flavored-Markdown.

Could we add a switch, to allow user to enable this feature/extension?

[michelf]

Adding it as a configurable option seems like a good idea. Someone wants to make a pull request?

I just created a quick pull request that adds a switch to automatically create links. Simple, but seems to do the job. Hope this is useful!
