[pLog-svn] File integrity check?

[Oscar Renalias]

Yes, I assume that there could be legitimate discrepancies between the
expected and actual results and that's why instead of showing an error
we should just show a warning. At that point it will be up to the
users to cancel the process and upload these files again or check that
the reported discrepancies match with files that they customized. If
they made no changes but still decide to go ahead despite the
warnings, we can always point this out when they complain in the
forums and nicely refuse to help them until they sort out the mess
with their files.
