Warnings and errors are equivalent in the compilation buffer.  I don't see how
Lennart gets error lines right at the top as I always get the following four
lines:

    -*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/" -*-
    Compilation started at Mon Jan  8 21:22:48

    `command used for my compilation'


Perhaps this is for his patched version.  Anyway there's not much point fixing
it when, like the heads of the Lernaean Hydra, two new bugs will take it's
place in FOR-RELEASE.
