I removed it, I thought it was obvious once you clicked on the link. again, I'm a PhD student, I live at the poverty line and host this project myself.

webdxray runs large batch jobs, so you can get lunch, and come back with all of pages analyzed. I know it does work on windows, and I apologize for not being able to provide directions...see comments above.
