// and should return !=0 on error:
//
//    1. init_result - initialize all results - for example, call
//       read_file_string and compute an MD5. Return a void*
//    2. check_pair_with_data - same as check_pair but with extra data from
//       init_result
//    3. cleanup_result - deallocate anything created by init_result.  Should
//       do nothing with NULL data
//
// see validate_test.C example usage.
