Script for validating submissions #22

Basic functionality to implement (sync with latest version of [http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html#TOPERRORS](top mistakes)):

index.html structure:
- using outdated Vol-XXX template (check date stamp)
- invalid HTML (feed through W3C service, or tidy)
- encoding should be US-ASCII, with HTML entities for non-ASCII characters
- authors not separated with comma (but, e.g., with “and”)
- incomplete author names (comparing author/title with PDF would be too hard to automate)
- inconsistent title capitalisation (e.g. compute ratio of capitalised letters for each title, warn about outliers)
- only one submitting editor at the bottom
- link to workshop must work
- title must not be the Vol-XXX sample title
paper full-text:
- copyright clauses (scan full-text PDF for the usual suspects: Springer, ACM, …)
file/directory structure of ZIP:
- not in ZIP format
- no metadata (.DS_Store, __MACOSX, .svn, .git)
- PDF papers not in subdirectories but on top level

Should output a command line for error-report. Initially just with --error parameters for each error encountered, later with arguments (e.g. name of erroneous paper file).
