Update verification
--

verify.sh
  does a low-level check of all advertised MAR files. Expects to have a
  file named all-locales, but does not (yet) handle platform exceptions, so 
  these should be removed from the locales file.

  prints errors on both STDOUT and STDIN, the intention is to run the
  script with STDOUT redirected to an output log. If there is not output
  on the console and an exit code of 0 then all tests pass; otherwise one
  or more tests failed.

  Does the following:

  1) download update.xml from AUS for a particular release
  2) download the partial and full mar advertised
  3) check that the partial and full match the advertised size and sha1sum
  4) downloads the latest release, and an older release
  5) applies MAR to the older release, and compares the two releases.
  
  Step 5 is repeated for both the complete and partial MAR.

  Expects to have an updates.cfg file, describing all releases to try updating 
  from.

l10n verification
--

verify_l10n.sh
  unpacks an en-US build for a particular release/platform, and
  then unpacks and compares all locales for that particular release/platform.

  Expects to have a file named all-locales, but does not (yet) handle platform 
  exceptions, so these should be removed from the locales file.

  Best practice is to take a directory full of diffs for a particular release
  and compare to a directory full of diffs for the current release, to see
  what l10n changes have occurred. For maintenance releases, this should
  be slim to none.
