    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.
