I've tried to further address the flyspell problem in patch-65.  The
behavior before this patch was to try to prevent flyspell from
coloring links.  But if you had entered a new link and flyspell
colorized it, it would stay colorized when the link was completely
entered.

What this patch does is remove any flyspell overlays in the region of
the link when it is being colorized.  Thus when you mouse-wheel-click
the link, it should browse the page/link instead of trying to offer
corrections.  It will still appear a red color in Emacs21, but XEmacs
and Emacs CVS will use the correct coloring.
