given a directory, recursively finds files which reference the (dbml) files in that directory

checklinks.bash

# Checks for links to the files in a given directory by
# searching for each filename in every other file.
# For example, if "menu.dbml" has links to "page1.dbml" and "page2.dbml",
# then the output will print "menu.dbml", then show 
# "page1.dbml" and "page2.dbml" underneath.
