[wp-hackers] template checks

[Stephen Rider]

RE theme authors deliberately omitting it --

Maybe have some way for theme authors to *explicitly* omit header/ 
footer -- thus you could check for either wp_footer OR the omission  
statement.  If neither is there, give the warning.

stoopid example:  wp_footer('omit')

Since it's probably fairly rare for a theme to deliberately leave it  
out, I think this would work nicely -- give the warning while allowing  
an out for themers who really don't want it.
