[Greasemonkey] Convert links to TinyURLs

[sam foster]

You might also want to check the href attribute exists before you
attempt to match it. Some might just hold internal anchors: <a
name="top"></a>

So:
if ((alinkholder[i].href.match('http://'))&&(alinkholder[i].href.length>23))

becomes
 var alink = alinkholder[i];
 if(alink.href && (alink.href.match('http://'))&&(alink.href.length>23))
