I guess I'm pushing my luck with current feelings, but would it be
possible to add the column number?

[Previously I wrote:

  The original error message you posted had column number information in the
  error output too:

     gfortran hello.F
      In file hello.F:3

           write(*,) 'Hello!'                                                
                1
     Error: Syntax error in WRITE statement at (1)

  it would be nice to be able to use this too.  I think gcc outputs kind of
  information as something like:

  hello.c:3:13: error: blah, blah, blah...

  Emacs can then place the cursor in the relevant column when visiting an error
  (and Vim probably does something similar too).]
