ffap can't deal with & in HTML

ffap can't deal with & in HTML

[Dan Jacobson]

While editing HTML I put the cursor on the middle of
href= 
"http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=49.3645&lon=-95.1191&s=25&size=l">
and hit C-x C-f, and ffap prompted me with a shorter url.

The problem is that the url entry in ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist
allows ampersand but not semicolon, and then strips any trailing
semicolons.

Here's a workaround, the patch to ffap.el is obvious:

(setq ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist
       (cons '(url "--:=&;?$+@-Z_a-z~#,%" "^A-Za-z0-9" ":.,!?")
             ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist))
