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.  I'm not even
sure we need bother bumping the library major.

Though while you're at it, struct urlent should probably be renamed to
struct url_ent for consistency.
