That regex should work on all hrefs. index.php and /index.php will be
replaced with http://www.example.com/index.php and somedir/index.php and
/somedir/index.php will be replaced with
http://www.example.com/somedir/index.php.  Any URL starting with http://
or https:// will be ignored.

Again, I say that it won't work on URLs with spaces, like "my web
page.html".  When I get a minute I'll fix it.  I thought spaces in URLs
weren't valid markup, but it seems to validate.
