I would probably prefer an option to make it actually run curl -I (send
HTTP HEAD commands) or thereabouts against make fetch-urlall-list to
check if the file is fetchable, either way you go with the warning.  We
could then have warnings about unfetchable URLs.  I know we have
separate online services for that, but it would be fitting for portlint.
