[pLog-svn] File integrity check?

[Jon Daley]

 	What I was going for was that the user will say, "I didn't see any 
warnings", and if we could verify that by having them go push a button in 
the admin and have them copy the output, "all files checked successfully 
on 2007-05-21" that would be a nice debugging tool.
