[texhax] chktex, are it's reports any good?

[great123456 at mail.com]

A few days ago I found and ran chtex over my source. Though my source
produces correct results when latex runs it over I did get a surprising
amount of warnings. I have been rather through about reading about
latex, so some things are easy to fix but hard to understand why they are
wrong, the opposite is true for others so please land a hand (I have
removed duplicate warnings).

Thanks,
David
