Right now rpmlint.py contains a large amount of magick, in the forms of
a lot of global code and a rather complex main(). It would be handy
various functions could be called that loaded the tests, tested the
files, and processed the results. That way rpmlint could be used as part
of a larger Python app such as the future Review-o-Matic.
