I think a combination of both is helpful. One in knowing what is
uptodate (the MASTER), and one knowing what is not (the attached script,
or a variation of).

It's not particularly fast (would need to be ported in Perl, where
hashtables exist, for example), but it gets the job done in knowing
which resources have the same structure as the master language. Missing
lines, menus, stringtables, etc. are also found and reported.

The ww file is needed because my csplit dies with a "Memory exhausted"
when used in a pipe following sed for commdlg, but not when used with
cat. I'm stomped on that one.

Ideally, it'd be integrated with Make.rules, so it knows where it is and
what are the rc files to check.

Comments (especially from those translating parts of Wine)?
