[development] 404 search

[Khalid B]

Here is another variant by someone else (also based on Steven's).
http://www.settingtheworldtorights.com/files/drupal/ii404-4.6.tar.gz

On a small site this may be acceptable. However for a large site I would
think twice, since reorganizing content can cause a lot of 404s. There
are even cases where 404s from missing images, or confused crawlers,
relative pathnames, RSS readers, ... etc such as this issue:
http://drupal.org/node/13148

So, a search will be performed for all 404s, whether human generation
or not.
