Summary: weblinkchecker should ignore 401 unauthorized

Initial Comment:
Please provide an option for weblinkchecker to ignore HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) errors.  Realistically, pywikipedia will not have the same authorization credentials as a "real" wiki user, especially in corporate environments.

Some data: In our corporate wiki, out of 1500 unreachable links, over 1300 were "error 401" because the sites require Windows authentication that pywikipedia does not have.
