If someone changes this maybe it would be a good idea to change some other 
things to. Some menu entries (recompile, first error, previous error) could be 
made availible via keyboard.

An other feature i would like to see is to seperate errors and warnings. C-' 
could be used for "next-warning" and C-M-n / C-M-p for show next/previous 
warning.

And there also seems to be a small bug in compilation-next-error / compilation-
previous-error. When compilation has finished and i use M-< to go to the start 
of the buffer and then type M-n point goes to the second error not as one would 
expect to the first. Same thing for M-> and M-p. (GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-
