BUG: no warning if library have incorrect folder name

Hello

I had downloaded JeeLib library from GitHub.

After unzip I had copy folder under Arduino/libraries.

Arduino ide warn me that folder name "jeelib-master" was not permitted.

Visual Micro do not it.

NOTE: why after correctly imported header in code, ide don't show .h and .cpp files in solution explorer

EXAMPLE: 

               Library  -|
                            |-JeeLib

               Header -|
                            |-PortLCD.h
                            |-RF12.h
                            |-....

               Class    -|
                            |-PortLCD.cpp
                            |-RF12.cpp
                            |-....

Hi,

Visual Micro should show the problem in the status bar when the ide loads. Also shows it clearly in the output window if you switch on tools>visual micro>user interface>trace

The Arduino Ide warns you for each library and warns again each time you compile or switch board which can be annoying if you have more than one invalid libs. 

I agree that a more obvious better system is required but not quite as annoyingly as the Arduino Ide.

We also have users who do not always open the ide to use Arduino and Visual Micro. In that case they don't want dialog prompts every time the Ide starts.

It does need more thought and all suggestions are welcome  Smiley
