Hi Guys,

  OK, here is a first draft of a patch to implement a checking mode
  for readelf.  It incorporates H.J.'s zero-size section test, although
  I have extended it to cover any SHT_PROGBITS section as well.  (Mainly
  because it makes writing a test case much easier).

  One thing that the patch does not do, but which maybe it should, is
  disable the normal non-warning output when the checking mode is enabled.
  The effect can be achieved by redirecting stdout to the null device
  of course, but I appreciate that this is not always possible/easy to do.

  Anyway - comments ?

Cheers
  Nick
