What about writing a semi-GUI wrapper for the compiler used by lazarus?
I.e. a compiler which gets all settings via IPC and returns status
info the same way. So you don't have the disadvantages of an integrated
compiler like a crashing compiler crashes the IDE, memory leaks caused
by the compiler etc..
