We don't have one, though I have a half-finished thing around
somewhere. The idea about that one is that it's not a generic link
checker but that it actually knows about our site structure and such
already.

It's definitely something we *should* have, so unless you have
something that works fine, applying a solution that does it on the
website would be a good thing - since it'll check both the
documentation and all our other things as well...
