We just recently added functionality like this to the external tools 
plugin. It scans the output and makes possible matches for files clickable.

Sounds pretty cool, if you want to, maybe you could see to integrate 
your work into the external tools plugin instead of into a separate 
plugin? Especially tracking changes in directories by make would be very 
cool to support.

With regard to projects, there is no such concept in gedit, and we are 
not planning any such support at the moment. Normally, we/I use some 
heuristics if I write an external tool to find the project root 
directory (like testing for autotools stuff/configure.ac, or a .git or 
SVN root directory).
