My concern is that the code i have (TOutputFilter) is still experimental. I 
could not test it against other plataforms. So it will need someone else to 
do it.

Before we could use the message numbers (-vq), more code has to be reviewed 
like TIDEMessageLine, QuickFixes, BuildLazDialog... where message can affect 
the code behavior.

What i´m suggesting now is if someone can test it with other plataform, and 
give us an opinion. Of course that this test must be done with current svn 
and, following pre-requisites like including -vq in compiler.pp, loading 
errore.msg, and modifying the compileroptions to read the types 'E' and 'F'.

Help are always welcomed! :)

I can provide the necessary patch to test. I just didn´t uploaded it yet 
because i don´t know if mailing list is the right place. And considering it 
is experimental, i don´t think a good idea to upload to the bugtracker.

Marcelo.
