Yeah, sorry about that.  I got as far as check_rules.pl with perl5.8 and
running it against all the commits which changed the files it depends on
and comparing the results with the old script;  and then a major meltdown
at work - primary SAN crashed :( - got in the way and I totally forgot
about it...

Thanks for picking up the ball and running with it.
