Change Details

This is perhaps a very dumb idea. checkrefs.pl, while useful, is annoying: - it's written in perl, which is arcane at the best of times. - it's also annoying to run (I don't have libxml::simple or whatever its dependencies are and installing them is a pain). - Running externally, one has to recreate a bunch of game functionality. If we were running templates validation from the inside the game, we could leverage the VFS and make our lives a little easier perhaps. Further, using the VFS might actually be faster than running on the OS, and javascript with a JIT is rather optimised too. We //could// also leverage our GUI to give some neater information, though I'm really doing nothing of that kind right now. This adds a mod to run some simple validations. I used it to confirm D1775. Refs D1381.
