Support local links about postmarkup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not sure how useful that is for the general case users commenting. Generally 
you just copy the url from the address bar to the url tag. Local links also 
make the content dependant on the current domain. If you display the content on 
a mobile site, for example, it could break the links.

Thanks for the patch, but I won't be applying it. If you could make it optional 
and not the default I may reconsider...

Ok, I'll make it optional and not the default.

BTW, I think that your example about mobile site version is strange. If links 
at desktop and mobile versions differ then you are doing something wrong. If 
mobile version developed right, then local links navigate through mobile 
version.

Here is patch with optional local_links.

Demonstration:

In [1]: from postmarkup.parser import create

In [14]: render_bbcode = create().render_to_html

In [15]: render_bbcode('[link=/photos/]See photos[/link]')
Out[15]: u'See photos'

In [16]: render_bbcode = create(local_links=True).render_to_html

In [17]: render_bbcode('[link=/photos/]See photos[/link]')
Out[17]: u'<a href="/photos/">See photos</a>'
