That should be possible.  After all, byte compilation is done during
the Make phase.  Why not checkdoc?  I already posted a Lisp snippet to
doc-check one entry from a DOC file.  I'll adapt it to pump out
warning lists for the whole thing over the holiday.  It'll be fuggly
but functional.  At least it will keep everyone busy. ;)
