Plugin for Rewtiting External Links

Description

Rewrite external link location, for example, to hide referers for private sites.

For example, trac link:

[http://foo.bar.com outgoing site]

becomes in html:

<a class="ext-link" href="http://foo.bar.com">outgoing site</a>

But, ExtLinkRewriter converts it as:

<a class="ext-link" href="/myredirector.html?http://foo.bar.com" target="_blank">outgoing site</a>

Jumping outgoing site via single redirector, referers with detailed page names could be hidden. it is useful for private/secret sites; i.e. project sites in local networks. (this plugin contains simple redirectors).
