Should be turned into a script / extension!

@Bjorn: while I applaud your move, I think we could try to come up with something better:

- the ezadmin extension packages together lot of useful 'adminish' stuff

- there's a lot of overlap already between the ezadmin and ggsysinfo extensions. And maybe with some more

- I think for general-purpose extensions, it is better to focus on a specific aspect rather than try to include too many different functionalities

- on similar notes we already have extensions like ezgeshi, which can do syntax highlighting, ezcodesniffer to check for php coding style and ezdbintegrity, which will check for db integrity

In short: why not create a new extension, dedicated to implementing some "status check console"?

It can add both a gui and a lot of useful scripts to be run on the command line.

It will depend on the above mentioned extensions to provide core functionality avoiding duplication.

We can start building a list of things to be checked out, besides the ones already present in the op. Some of my pet peeves:

- php ini files missing the opening comment tag

- ini settings keys which are identical except for case (common error)

- whitespace in in settings (common error)

- check if definition of po classes match db structure
