i thought about doing this a while ago.. the problem was that you don't
really get enough information from the output to do much, and if you
actually hack the source to the program (gnu make), there's the problem
trying to run the make while trying to run gtk. of course there are ways
to get around the second problem, but with all my begging in the gtk-list,
nobody ever told me how :)

it's still a cool thought, though
