This VCL compiler thing...

[Anders Berg]

They satisfy me.

Line, Pos and errortype.

If I am not mistaken getting more "humanreadable" error's is just a matter 
of spending alot of time in the C code, without really changing the logic 
of your parsercode and testing iteration after iteration? If that is the 
case, I say move on :)
