Broken links

With absolute links the spider doesn't attempt to verify the external 
links.  With relative links it will create a missing page page.

It is possible to use a relative link and not have forrest generate a 
missing page link?  Sometimes I want to be able to refer to pages outside 
the project using relative links rather than absolute links.

Regards,

In 0.5 it can be done by creating a custom
src/documentation/conf/cli.xconf file, listing paths to ignore:
