Actually no, I don't think I would want to put messages into the modeline. As I 
understand it I have multiple modelines on my screen - one for each window, and 
that would be unnecessary duplication of information.

Thanks for the code, though - I'm sure that would be useful to somebody (I 
suspect many people won't be as opposed to putting echo messages into the mode 
line as I am).
