Silly me! I realized later today that  
\href{http://www.legi.hmg.inpg.fr}{\scalebox{2}{LEGI}} was more logical  
that \scalebox{2}{\href{http://www.legi.hmg.inpg.fr}{LEGI}} -- see my  
comp.text.tex post which should show up at some point finally -- but it  
was too late...

My original problem is unfortunately more tricky, and I really don't  
know what to do apart from switching to dvips. I take a table of which  
one column is made of such hyperlinks  
\url{http://www.legi.hmg.inpg.fr}, and put it in a sidewaystable  
environment. With pdfTeX, the linked area (visualized by the frameboxes  
in Acrobat) does not lie where the table is: the table is rotated in  
both dvips and pdfTeX, the hyperlinks are rotated in dvips but not in  
pdfTeX.

The table goes like this (with many omitted lines):

\begin{sidewaystable}
   \centering\scriptsize
   \begin{tabular}{@{}|c|l|r|l|l|c|@{}}
     \hline
     \textbf{Page} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{URL}} &
       \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Serveur}} &
       \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Répertoire}} &
       \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Alias}} &
       \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Webmestre}}
     \tabularnewline\hline\hline
     Laboratoire (VF) &  
\url{http://www.legi.hmg.inpg.fr/legi/index.html} &
       legik260.hmg.inpg.fr & /web/legi/francais/ & /legi/ & weblegi
     \tabularnewline\hline
     Laboratoire (VA) &  
\url{http://www.legi.hmg.inpg.fr/anglais_legi/index.htm} &
       legik260.hmg.inpg.fr & /web/legi/anglais/ & /anglais\_legi/ &  
weblegi
     \tabularnewline\hline
   \end{tabular}
   \caption[Organisation actuelle]{Organisation actuelle du site. }
   \label{tab-etat}
\end{sidewaystable}

Thanks for any lights you may have!
