Right now, the style checker does nothing. It's an empty bash script.
The idea is that projects can provide their own to perform style
checks, but the style checker has to be aware of file type (C, Ada,
shell, python, etc), to be able to apply the correct checks.

I think I kept it around just in case I needed to roll back
to the old config. Right now, it should no longer be active,
so I commented that part of the config file out.
