Yup - this is pretty much what I had in mind.

That also would be neat.  I have the impression that a lot of
debugging messages are just left in there when the original
author of the code was testing it.  Subsequent people have
probably left them in thinking they were important.

It's a hard problem though.  I don't know whether you can write a
set of rules for what should be debug messages and what
shouldn't.

How about yodlising all the docs and generating text and html
versions?

Good stuff!
