OK. Next Take.

Changes this time:
- A bug-fix for "--dir" (Would have checked all files)
- Added a "fast-path" but this doesn't seem to make a difference

New options:
- "--[no]fix" to fix (default) or only look for errors.
(This ignores the '[no]comment'-option and looks for all errors!)
- "--[no]override" to override(default) the original file or create a
"<filename>.fixed"-file

Anyone wants a "--[no]ask"-option?
