Right, it's not a requirement, but it can simplify and speed up the use 
of the compiler.

In detail the compiler options could/should be passed directly to the 
compiler, not in form of commandline options (string). Also the time 
consuming unit search could be reduced or eliminated, when the IDE and 
compiler share the same file/directory cache. And not to forget the 
handling of compiler messages, that can go immediately into the IDE 
messages window.

ACK. But I found your ideas very instructive, with regards to what 
functionality should be moved into dedicated and exchangable 
classes/objects :-)

Do you already have more concrete ideas, what in detail should be 
encapsulated, WRT later IDE integration of the compiler?
