Actually, I have found more problems with parseURL( ), so it's OK
if this patch is not applied right away - not that it's wrong, but
I might as well submit a fuller patch.

What I'm referring to is the fact that this method gets confused
by other colons in the path of the URL when the URL is something
like "file:/c:/temp/foo.txt". And I think this case is valid
only for "file" URLs.

File.toURL( ) is correct with respect to "/" being used as the
file separator even on Win32 as that's what Sun's JDK is using, 
but it uses the "file://" format instead of "file:/" as used 
by JDK at least on Win32. Can someone with Sun's or IBM's JRE 
on Linux please tell me what it is for a path like 
"/foo/bar" - is it "file:///foo/bar" or just "file:/foo/bar"?
