So I finally got my load_every_help.py script pretty well debugged and
so it can actually survive a bunch of conditions. Basically, its a
simple automated test of every help patch. You give it a base
directory for Pd, and it opens every help patch and logs the result.
This makes it easier to see which help patches have problems. I could
see this script doing something like posting anytime there is a
"couldn't create" error.
Here's an example log, I ran it without X on Debian, so all of the Gem
and probably PDP stuff failed.

I think this script could also then serve as the basis of a regression
testing script. It would basically look thru the SVN for any *-
regression.pd file. These pd patches would run some bit of code, then
print out the word "SUCCESS". If it doesn't that's a fail and it'd be
automatically mailed to the list.
