Implementing this once per check is not ideal, I would prefer to have
support in the file matcher and in the command generator. There is
work-in-progress for this in the wip/mime branch for bug #791722.

Not yet, that would be a good idea but probably hard to do since most
of the things that go wrong from doc/README need a human to detect. I
would be happy to get a patch for this if you can think of some checks.

See my answer above.

Same issue.

I don't think this is appropriate, these could have bugs/bashisms too
and for configure this would be indicative of bugs in configure.ac.
