Here we go!  Attached you can find the patch implementing the error overview.

Some notes.  This requires tabulated list mode and multi frame support
because the error overview is opened in a new dedicated frame.  I had
no time to look for a way to have an overview in non-graphic displays,
but this shouldn't be too hard to implement.  To open the overview
issue `M-x TeX-error-overview' (no key binding for the time being,
also because there are few C-c C-<letter> still available), but if you
want to automatically open the overview after running a TeX command
set the option `TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run' to non-nil
(this is off by default in my patch, but I have no strong opinion for
the default value).

Comments? :-)

Bye,
