It would be nice if the wrong files are just produce the same output as 
regular symbols, writing something different to the log is ok.

checking: unknown.sym
1 error: file not found

gsymcheck should not exit as this will not check files given at 
commandline.

examples:
gsymcheck unknown.sym regular1.sym regular2.sym
gsymcheck regular1.sym regular2.sym unknown.sym
