[hobbit] hobbit-*.cfg syntax check

I searched through my archives of email on this mailing list, and
couldn't find an answer to my question...

Is there a syntax checker for the hobbit-*.cfg configuration files
(such as hobbit-clients.cfg)?  I'm having an issue where some of the
rules I set up are apparently being ignored, or otherwise not working
as expected.  I have a feeling it may be due to a syntax error, but
I'm not sure.

If there isn't already a way to check the syntax of these files, I
think it would be a great feature to add.  Similar to the
named-checkconf scripts that are available for BIND.

I'm also curious, how does Hobbit deal with syntax errors in the
configuration files?  Does it just skip over bad syntax, or stop
completely when it encounters an error?
