(apologies to the regulars but...) Kernow does directory validation -
if you are currently manually kicking off the process and just
checking that all the files are valid, then the "Validation" tab of
Kernow might be useful here:

(for some reason I don't seem to have created entry points to run
validation from the command line... so the only options in 1.5.2 are
to use the GUI or the API).
