checkdoc-batch.el

M-x checkdoc-batch runs Emacs "checkdoc" over a buffer, producing a report of things found instead of going through them interactively.

foo.el:1:1: There is no first line summary! Add one?
foo.el:26:2: There is no ;;; Code: marker. Insert one?
foo.el:1:15: White space at end of line. Remove?

It can be used on the current buffer in M-x compile style, or from the command line with script emacs-checkdoc-batch to check many files. The idea is that it can be friendlier to see a list of the problems, especially if checking multiple files.
