[Bug 401050] Re: webcheck -q not silent

[Rkimber]

I am now convinced that there are also other problems with the way
webcheck interprets options presented to it.

The --yank=PATTERN doesn't seem to work reliably. The man page says it
accepts perl-type regular expressions, but I have been unable to find
anything that works to exclude all URLs starting with /

It seems that the simplest of regular expressions (i.e. literal strings)
will work, as with the example on the manpage, but that metacharacters
and character classes do not work.

/[b] works, /[bcd] works for URLs starting with /b or /c or /d, even
though these don't match the full URL as the manpage requires, but
/[a-z] doesn't

^/.*$ seems to work with egrep but doesn't work with webcheck.  It's all
very confusing
