I don't know, but if there's a Web gateway where you can measure any text you paste into a text box, there's a few fans of grammatical overcomplexity on Wikipedia it would be useful for beating over the head ...
There are a few of these around. The one I use it at http://resources.aellalei.com/writer/sample.html and provides a Flesch Reading Ease, Fog Scale Level and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level for any text pasted in. It's only suitable for individual articles though. It wouldn't be the best option for a large scale analysis.
