[oe] Alpha release of check-requirement.sh

[Tim Orling]

So where does it live? It ends up being: run shell script from "somewhere".
I know what you mean about git and other requirements, but still it must be
sourced from "somewhere". If you add a desire to be version controlled, it
then logically lands in a git repo. Or subversion, bazaar or mercurial.

Thinking outside the box, we could make it a python (humor me) module
installed from pypi and document how to run it...

I tend to use shell scripts as my first draft and then translate to python.
This usually means a lot of "subprocess" calls and is by no means a silver
bullet.

Alternatively, it becomes a clickable link on a website. That means nodejs.
Or perl. Or...
