I've got some patches that import webkit's check-style script to check the
style[1]. It just runs regex rather then doing a real parse of the code but
importing it turns out to be a low effort/high reward. I've already started
working on a robot to post to bugzilla. Perhaps later we can replace it
with a more intelligent tool.
