Actually, I think I'm just going to go with a hacked version of
webchecker. It works fine on Zope sites and every other of our sites I've
tried it on. And it was easy to hack to add support for basic
authentication (the only thing it lacked that I needed).

So if anyone just needs basic link checking for Zope, just use webchecker.
If anyone wants my authentication hack, let me know.
