Wonderful! I recall you still have CVS access to the code repository,  
right?
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/perl/modules/W3C/LinkChecker/

The code already embeds some javascript – an experiment I did a while  
ago – but we could certainly get it out to its own file if it gets too  
big.

Would you be more interested in looking first into the perl side, or  
the js side?
