Ah Ha! I have been looking for a spider for another project that I am
working on. (my "real" job :-)
I did have a look at link checker but it didn't run correctly. Linbot
also has a 1.0 rating at freshmeat.
A further look into the documentation at the linbot site reveals that it
builds a bunch of reports. One report is a list of broken hyperlinks.
Still no word on wether or not it checks internal links. If it doesn't
I'll hop on the linbot-devel list and request the feature from the
developers. They should be able to add it without a lot of trouble.
