Hi Dan,

The tool runs for less than a minute per language, a minute or two for all...
Timestamps could be added, but I didn't find it important enough, so I
haven't (yet)...

I didn't anticipate this being part of the build, rather, an ad-hoc
testing tool that a possibly translator or committer of translated
messages could choose to run.
Although I see value in an ant target for it, I think making it part
of the standard build might not be right...The tool spits out warnings
about possible mismatches, but some of the translations may still be
ok.
