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).

Regardless of whose issue it is, it would seem a good idea to co-ordinate
between projects (gfortan/gcc/emacs/vim...).
