Let's see...

(benchmark-run (check-declare-directory "~/src/emacs/trunk/lisp/"))

11 seconds.  Perhaps a pure-Lisp solution wouldn't be that much slower,
anyway?

(Hm...  it finds over a 100 in-tree declarations that it says are
malformed/wrong...  Perhaps somebody should have a look at that.)

That's true.

If we have a Lisp solution, I think I'd prefer to use that on all
platforms.  Easier to debug when there only one code path, for one.
