Hi,

I know this is a very special request, but anyway:
As recently posted, I'm an enthusiastic user of the Boxer editor. this 
one is able to capture compiler/linker output and automagically place the 
cursor on the position of the first error/warning that appeared.
That's a nice feat, but Boxer needs to find the keywords 'warning' or 
'error' (or any user-defined keywords...) to work properly. And DJGPP 
emits explicit 'warnings', but no universal keyword for 'error'.

Since other advanced editors might suffer the same problem, would it be 
possible without too much efforts to include 'error' at a defined 
position in every error message? Would that interfere with any standard 
formats or a desired compatibility?
I know, this is trifle and vain. Anyway, just wanted to add my tiny tiny 
part to the DJGPP project :-)

   Elmar
