I also think that using double-click is a much better way than using 
timeouts for resolving the problem with either setting point or 
following the link. This is commonly used in such situations on w32. In 
this case I would prefer that mouse-1 click sets the point and mouse 
double-click follows the link.

In buffers like help and info I think the best choice is the current 
(mouse-1 click follows link) since setting point there has less value 
(and is quite easy anyway).
