New filtering in MouseHole

[Kevin Ballard]

That won't work if you have a fairly generic script. What if I mutate  
all sites to throw a link in the upper-right that, say, pops open a  
box with input fields to let me post a note to my Backpack pages from  
any site? That would require handling // for domain and %r{/ 
backpack_ping/} for path. That can't be done as a single string  
register, and doing it as a regex register_url is no "better" than my  
approach. Although I would like to make req.request_uri be proper and  
drop the uri arg to the block - I didn't in my patch because  
request_uri is read-only and I didn't really feel like extending the  
class to get access to it, but it's probably appropriate here.
