Thanks, I'll try this.

I've started working on something. But it cannot be a plain aap
compiler-plugin.
The problem is we sometimes need to apply different filters on the
output of :make. For instance: a filter for aap (or (g)make, or bjam, or
scons, or ant, or ...), a filter for GCC (because the link errors are
not displayed), a filter for the test unit framework used, a filter for
cygwin, a filter for doxygen, ...

What is the real `current_compiler' ? It is quite impossible to tell.
With the cygwin compiler-plugin I'm maintaining, I've tried to answer
this question. But the answer is not very good, and not really
"scalable". Moreover, when we load a compiler-plugin that reset
current_compiler, we need to reload compiler/cygwin.vim. It is not very
handy.

Any way, I have a few more things to do on the alternative solution I'm
working on, and I'll make an announcement on Vim Mailing-list.
