You'll still have to break the API to make fetchList() return the new struct instead of the old. It's not a problem, really, considering that fetchList() was only implemented for local files.

Though while you're at it, struct urlent should probably be renamed to struct url_ent for consistency. > Based on the copyright message, you are > the author.
