WebGrep - search a web subtree for a pattern

This is basically "grep" for the web. You give it one or more URLs as arguments. It enumerates the files reachable at or below those URLs, and searches their contents for the given pattern.

Options:

-i
case-insensitive search.
-t timeout
How many seconds to allow for a fetch, before killing it. Default is 120.
-p threads
The maximum number of threads to run in parallel. Default is 5.
