Copy Paste Detection

Copy Paste Detection

[Gary]

Does anyone know of any modes that do (programming-)language independent
copy/paste (kill/yank) detection in emacs? 

I suppose external tools would also work, but I really would prefer it
if it was something I could usable on an emacs buffer.

I mean that if in some code file someone has written the same code more
than once, or more likely copy/pasted it, I would like to identify those
code blocks. See http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html for an example. The
difference is, the language that I use is so little known that a tool
explicitly targeting it won't exist, hence the "language independent"
part.

Sounds more like a job for

  % sort -b | uniq -c | sort -nr

And manually detect suspiciously similar lines.
