please don't use perl.  it's a good idea, but how about something
like this:

    get_applets()
    {
	sed < include/applets.h \
	    -n  -e 's/^[[:space:]]*APPLET(\([^,]*\),.*)[[:space:]]*/\1/p'
    }

    appletlist=$(get_applets)
    sortedlist=$(get_applets | sort)

    if [ "$appletlist" != "$sortedlist" ]
    then
	echo applets not in alphabetical order
	exit 1
    fi


(only lightly tested)
