ValExtLinks: Changed --suggest-snapshots to --suggest-snapshots-ng and added --suggest-snapshots-ok for getting snapshot URLs for all good links. This can be used to confirm that sites are backed up in case they die in the future, but note that this argument will take hours to run due to the API rate limit. Added awareness of API rate limit so Archive.org will not start blocking script.

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.

ValExtLinks: The 'I Just Broke All The Diff-Gazing' Commit. Revised file structure of the project and added the MIT license. Revised all documentation. HTTP and curl codes are now wiki-formatted and hosted online. In Val itself, I made these changes: Added --timeout argument to change default URL query timeout of 10 seconds. Revised the report header to be easier to read. Less advice is printed directly in the report and more is online at the location linked to under the Legend section.
