Instead of broken links on my site, I’d like to see broken links *to* my site. Those are harder to find because I can’t run Xenu on the entire web.
Jonathan, webmaster tools gives you that already with the crawl errors report. The list of 404 errors are the links that Googlebot found to your site that lead to non-existent pages. Your wish has been granted. :)
