Try this:
$ sed 's|^http://\(.*/\)\(.*\)|<a href="\1\2">\1</a>|g;
s|href="|
href="http://|g' /input/file/with/links > /output/file/with/clicklinks
It's minimal changed from the first example, which didn't things well
when i tried it out with your uri.

Sorry that I didn't notice that sed was using input and output files,
should've seen that.
I made a dummy with just one link to test the sed command. The link
is entirely on one line, where as if I were to paste it here then it
would wrap, I'm not sure if that's relevant.
Here's the link in dumm.txt, wrapped:

I opened "dummy.txt" from openoffice and the link wasn't clickable,
but I do notice that if I were to e-mail these to myself that they
become clickable from gmail. Still, I'd like to get the sed command
working, partly out of curiousity.
Thanks,
