Colin, two remarks on your solution:

1. The file extension .texi seems to be the standard one, but you should 
also allow .texinfo, .tex and .txi [1]. An alternative solution would be 
to scan the first row for “\input texinfo”.

2. My texinfo examples contain no whitespace at the beginning of input 
rows and are thus not detected if they contain no “>>”. You should add 
an additional space after the automatically inserted “>>” to make that work.

P.S. I have >260 files to check. A summary at the end of the file list 
(FAIL count) would help me check whether there are errors at all.

P.P.S. Good job and very useful tool!
