At first blush, it looks like some small adjustments might be needed to
accommodate the new site's URL format. That would only apply to
downloading with --url or supplying an iPlayer episode URL to --pid, so
not a huge problem. The old site is still around - probably for a good
while - so working URLs will be available.
