I do not have the time to read your patch in detail.  I hope that I am
wrong, but at first view it looks as if you do:

    (setcar event 'mouse-2)

whenever the user clicked mouse-1 and the text has the mouse-face
property and does not have the new dont-follow-link property.
Hopefully I am misunderstanding this, as it would obviously be
disastrous, even for an optional feature.

Having the mouse-face property does _not at all_ imply that the text
is a link.  I would rather work with a `link' property if you want to
remap, than with a `dont-follow-link' if not.

Sincerely,

Luc.
