Ah, I forgot to update the README when I renamed it to `pages-to-links.py`.
Fixed now - thanks!

I've been playing around with `bin/get-interesting-strings.pl` today.
I'll make it easier to use and add it to the README once I've slept on it,
but for now you need to create a `data` symlink in the repo's base directory,
pointing to the dump's `data` directory. Then `make interesting-strings.txt`
will create a tab-separated value file with interesting snippets from the wiki.
The HEAD commit adds /Discussion links, and finds 1,059 of them :s
