I like checkers, but I like them even more when they can run
automatically every time I do a build, and fail the build if they find a
problem.  It's easy enough to arrange for that by only running "mdl" if
it's installed, but can "mdl" be made to complain only about problems
that we consider in OVS to be important ones?  That might have to be
figured out by experiment, of course.
