A note, instead of calling warning multiple times, I think we're
supposed to embed newlines and just call warning once. Similarly for
error, fatal, and ack I suspect. My impression is that it helps
things like emacs and other code which wants to parse the compiler's
diagnostics.
I did tweak your web entry a little and install it. Further improvements
are encouraged.
And if someone wants to improve BUGS & the .texi docs it would be
greatly appreciated.
