I'd be very pleased if it were added to the CG and source tree but I 
don't have the push privileges to put it there, so I'll attach it to 
this email with the name "check-snippets".  I didn't put the "convert-ly 
-e" command into the script because for reasons unknown to me I feel 
like it belongs as a separate process.  I did stick the grep command in 
at the end and tested it again--works just fine. :)  I wasn't certain 
whether it would wait until all the files had been run before grepping 
but it did.  It finished looping and then moved on to the grep command.

I looked through the convert-ly.py script and I feel now as though I 
need to learn some Python.  I especially like the way it deals with 
command-line options--much more intuitive than what I've been doing with 
bash scripting.  Maybe I'll experiment a bit with the convert-ly rules 
on my own copy of the script and see what I can learn. :)
