What do you think about the idea, though?

Since -q is about the output of sole errors:
-q, --quiet  No output if no errors are found (implies -s).
and a link not checked because of a robots.txt directive is not per se
an error (just informing the user that the link was not checked),
shouldn't we modify checklink there?
