Howdy,
There are actually two copies of url.sty installed with gwtex, one
in .../texmf.gwtex/xetex/latex/url/url.sty, with the UTF-8 conversion
(thanks Gerben --- it makes it just work!) and the usual one in .../
texmf.tetex/tex/latex/url/url.sty used by the standard LaTeX. There
shouldn't be a problem on either side.
Good Luck,
