link/uri test suite

Dear all,

We've been recently working on a test suite for link checkers, with a  
collection of test cases for base URI / http status codes / html %URI  
attributes handling, with a harness to run the test case against (for  
now) the W3C link checker. Next will certainly be testing of IRIs.

Short writeup here:

Longer ramblings:

CVS:

Any (constructive) feedback or contribution to this work in progress  
would be very welcome. In particular, if you have ideas about which  
among the known URI tests[1] we should try to include in this  
particular link test suite, that would be appreciated.

Thank you.
