Well, since webchecker is currently telling me:

    Round 413 (22987 total, 2436 to do, 20551 done, 732 bad)

I guess there's a reason this isn't being done every month. From the look of
it a lot of the bad links are in the documentation of older versions, but
I'll summarise the results when (if) the job finishes.
