I'd recommend that this be an optdepends.

-1 for depends, +1 for optdepends

I think there was a request for that already and I closed it because it is in fact not even a optdepends. It's more of an easter egg. The actual script is declared as a sample on how to implement urxvt into your own application. I copied it over because some people might use it. The more appropriate way is to call urxvt -pe tabbed anyway. I was debating to drop the urxvt-tabbed many times because I'm not even sure how much it is supported upstream.
