[Mono-list] Emacs parsable compilation errors from mcs

[Per Arneng]

Well all the compiler options are unix style then why not go all the way and 
be more compatible with unix tools..    as i said grep , gcc,emacs ... so i 
think it is better.. 
But i see your point with compatibillity with other programs C# tools.. .. but 
since it is souche a trivial thing to change then what about a compiler 
option.. emacs mode as default and an option for csc.exe compatibillity.. And 
as i understand it is that mono is primarily for unix then why not go the 
unix way :)

example:
--errorformat unix    , -e unix  (default)
--errorformat csc     , -e csc     

/per

p.s.: if i hard to read the email its becouse i just woke up :)
