Hah, I found one. There's already a hidden maintainer-check target that
checks the NLS files syntax.
Anyway, here is a small patch that changes the duplicate_oids script to
return a nonzero exit status in case of a problem, and then creates a
global maintainer-check target that checks that and the SGML syntax and
the NLS thing. Other things could be added in the future.
Documentation should be added.
Useful?
