The 'errorformat' option is able to handle several error formats at the
same time.  You can put very strict formats first, then less strict
ones.  The first one that matches is used.

It would get complicated if we make compiler-plugin-addons.  You
probably need a way to use the existing compiler plugins and combine the
results.  Since the method to combine them depends on the ordering,
there is no generic solution.

I suppose you could make an "aap with cygwin and doxygen" compiler
plugin that loads the cygwin and doxygen compiler plugins and combines
the pieces.  You still need to make a plugin for every combination you
use.
