Yes, I think this is a good idea.  You can add a direct makefile like target.

validate:
	command here

The space before the command is a tab.  Then you just go "make validate".  I
think it would be a bad idea to add this to the standard compilation or other
targets.

This sort of highlights the need for some sort of testing framework to test
this and other things.
