Log Message:
Val now tries each URL three times. This has proven more effective than giving Val a long timeout and trying each URL once. The summary report has been refined a bit; the most notable change is that the final number and breakdown of link issues leaves out the excepted links. Also stopped Val from getting confused by HTML-encoded '&'s in the exceptions list.

12 \cf0 - Upload RTF and TXT reports too, and link to them where they are mentioned in the HTM report.\
13 \
14 - Use return value from expect script to determine success!\
15 \
16 - Offer option of checking OK links for valid archive.org and archive.is snapshots.\
17 \
18 - Add advisory message about localizing any externally-linked images. But how do I detect them?! They're not part of the extlinks table.\
19 \
20 - Audit exceptions list so it doesn't acquire cruft \'97 mention URLs in list that aren't in extlinks.csv, and URLs that were found but returned different codes (or were OK instead of NG). This can be done with a parallel array of 0/1s that track whether each exception in the exceptions list was used.\
21 \
22 - Expand and test the interwiki links.\
23 \
24 - Test section links found in interwiki or intrawiki links.\
25 \
26 - Can we automatically compare screenshots of old to new pages with some leeway for minor changes, in order to catch new silent redirects?}
