Think of the files as a "link tree" or, if you will, a map. You're
starting from whatever point or points listed in the htdig.conf. If
there's an HTML link (a few types are recognized), it will follow that,
add new links, etc.

That won't work for any search engine--there's no way to know that that
particular applet is going to give links. (Beyond that, it won't work for
people who don't turn on Java.)

You can list as many URLs as you want in the start_url attribute, or you
can also include a file into the htdig.conf. e.g.:
start_url: `/path/to/urls.txt`
