Came accross a broken link in the website user's guide.
In writing this bug report, thought i should just run a
link checker on the site and give the results with
alernatives:

- http://www.jython.org/Project/userguide.html links to
http://www.jython.org/Project/faq.html, which gives a
404. I'm guessing we want
http://www.jython.org/Project/userfaq.html

- http://www.jython.org/Project/news.html links to
http://www.ziclix.com/bzimmer/ which 404's. Since this
is a news item, suggest we add "update - this is no
longer active, see
http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=jython&btnG=Search+Blogs
for more jython related blog posts'. Or whatever blog
search engine you prefer.

- http://www.jython.org/Project/devfaq.html links to
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/website/,
which 404's. Replace with
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/trunk/website/

- http://www.jython.org/Project/userfaq.html links to
http://members.home.net/tim.hochberg/, which is gone
and redirecs to nothing useful. The best alternative
link i can find is
http://jnumerical.sourceforge.net/index.html.

- The above userfaq.html page also links to 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jython/jython/Lib/,
which is timing out (though cvs browsing does still
seem to work, urls are different though). I didn't go
and check for all occurances of cvs links to update
with svn equivalents, but this failing one can probably
at least be replaced with
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/jython/trunk/jython/Lib/.
