Link Checker

We use a script called lvrfy (http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~crow/lvrfy.html)
- I don't think I've seen this one mentioned yet. We have embedded lvrfy in
another script which parses the lvrfy output (list of bad links) and sends
a mail message to the author of each offending page. So far it has worked
very well: at any rate the list of bad links gets shorter each week :-)
