I haven't verified this, but I think it does.

Yes, this is important for files containing doxygen documentation. I 
suppose it's also possible that a program could output a URL when run - 
so it might be in a string. There's also quickbook and restructured text 
files to consider.

But links that don't end up in html files should also be checked - 
people read the source.
