hyperref url breaking

Question

So, in a plain document with

\usepackage{url}
\begin{document}
You can find this at \url{very-long-url}.
\end{document}

the URL will be broken down, e.g. after slashes. When however \usepackage{hyperref} is in effect, breaks are inhibited. I tried adding \usepackage{breakurl} below hyperref, and while it does break URLs again, the colorful border that hyperref added is now very faint. How could this last issue be remedied?

You can use \href{http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/csharp/blablabla.aspx}{How to cook} — Display Name, Jan 10 '11 at 15:15
\href{}{with link text} won't help because the URL is supposed to be visible in the book. — user2859, Jan 19 '11 at 00:28

You can reset the width on the border. The needed value depends on the resolution settings of dvips. E.g. with dvips -Ppdf a value of 100 is okay, without -Ppdf you can try 5.

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{breakurl}
\hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 100}}
\textwidth=3cm
\begin{document}
\url{long/long/long/long/long/long/blub/bla/bla}
\end{document}

\href{<link url>}{<link url again>}

Works for my purposes.
