When gcc, g++, etc ouputs errors they are in a form designed to help people
read the command line. With many people wanting to use IDEs, such as Eclips
CDT, trying to write code to parse this output is not easy.
For this reason to have a mode where the compiler and other gcc tools can
output results that are easy to parse would be of help. What format this should
take I am not sure, maybe:
[tool name]:[file path]:[line number]:[error type]:[error message]
