I have added it to automated-testing in acs-tcl as acs_tcl__all_tcl_files_parse_p, in HEAD.  I dumbed it down a bit:

1) No support for testing only a sub-tree.  Maybe we should somehow make this a standard auto-test per-package instead of a single global?

2) Killed the link to the file since it didn't the original coded link didn't work for me and building a link to api-doc looked non-trivial.

3) I think we are going to need to get some conventions/support/documentation for differentiating between global tests like this, feature-specific regression tests, etc.  acs-automated-testing has some built-in categorization which we're not really using and we should tackle that in 5.1 as we add adp/tcl testing through tclwebtest.

I never had troubles with the existing mechanism either. This script helps me find errors when tail'ing the error log by colorizing it and putting errors in bold red:

https://openacs.org/storage/file?file_id=151462

A few Shift-PGUP at most quickly reveal the source of any errors after a reload of the offending page.
