This version corrects a bug that prevented the use of the pdfeTeX engine
(which is the default for some teTeX distributions). Also, there's a new
package option, `vertfit', which controls the behaviour of the link
rectangle's height (and depth).

breakurl – Line-breakable \url-like links in hyperref when compiling via dvips/ps2pdf
This package provides a command much like hyperref’s \url that typesets a URL using a typewriter-like font. However, if the dvips driver is being used, the original \url doesn’t allow line breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links.
