Someone else wrote most of it, I was only trying to make it work good
enough to enable.  There are a few things in play here:
 - the parser doesn't report errors as much as a compiler like mcs
   which can be misleading
 - highlighting the correct portion of a line given a line + column of
the error needs to be fairly intelligent
 - gtksourceview syntax highlighting conflicts with the error underline
drawing
 - normal bugs, lack of testing
