	Not quite like sonar no. Various heroic contributors run various lint
tools: cppcheck, lyda, coverity, and others and improve the code based
on their results :-)

	In general we have quite a long list of such lint problems to tackle (I
think), which brings an immediate, incremental benefit to the code. If
you think setting the tool up is the first step to doing something about
the results ;-) then I'd say go for it ... the more linting / analysis
we have the better.

	I don't expect terribly high scores though ;-)

	ATB,
