Comment:

 The check application compiles, passes all tests and runs on a Debian
 testing system with no issues. Hopefully this is going to be entirely
 reusable and we do just need to update the exit list format. We can't move
 this service just yet as it does depend on having TorDNSEL running on the
 same machine. It seems that check will use the state file from TorDNSEL
 (which is an exit list) from the filesystem.

 I have filed #29983 to update the templates used in check to reflect the
 new URLs for the new website. We can also see what happens with this
 ticket to see if someone is looking out for things here, or if the tickets
 go unnoticed.
