------------------------


we should have a validate function for
- objects of each type
- lists of each type

Currently we have a lot of places in the code
doing object and/or list validation.

Examples:
- validation in spooling framework
(libs/spool/sge_spooling_utilites)
- validation in old classic spooling code (being
part of the reading functions)
- qmaster gdi request handling
- clients like qconf
