Setting LANG is wrong -- use LC_MESSAGES.  In the current situation,
`compilation-environment' should be customized with a default that
sets LC_MESSAGES.

Well I commented on (the English versions of) the cases I noticed.  I
don't know what `verified' might mean here.

I said I used `next-error' with the development code.  I see no
evidence this was fixed last week, e.g. what I just sent to Stefan.
I'm fed up with this sort of treatment when reporting Emacs problems,
and I've had enough of this exchange.

That probably fits with how I view people who call themselves `power
users'.

On the other hand, I want to be able to use `compilation-minor-mode'
and customize its behaviour through a documented interface.  I want to
be able to do this in code which can cleanly use the released versions
of compile.el too.
