Track Adwords referrer for visits with a referrer like google.com/aclk or google.com/gclk

It would be beneficial for Piwik users who use Adwords to allow the google 'keyw…ord not defined' to instead show the actual URL - I realize it won't show much, but currently the only way I can track paid vs organic clicks is by differentiating between the beginning of a url (aclk + gclk - usually mean it's a paid adword). I have yet to try retagging all of my adwords manually vs. google's auto tagging which is currently enabled but does not show the keyword or campaign. It seems that Adwords is the only autotagging that does not come through and display correctly. example: http://www.google.ca/aclk?sa=l&ai=C4Zlv8lmGVIjEJMSApgP5n4CYCe2H4OICvdzWnoMBkvyhDggAEAFg_aCZgegDoAGjp-vLA8gBAakC3k4OpN45rT6qBB9P0OeQH3wwBUm1FUNQ2dmWjFrVvfG2GmlplVOd-yFf0gYLEP3YERjlgcQhKAGAB8XYlDSQBwGoB6a-.....

Please let me know if anyone needs clarification. I’d just like to see the actual google url, regardless of whether it’s encrypted or not.

Cheers!
