Well, the parsing was just an idea. The main intent for the GUI-app
was that the user could at least see something as opposed to the
messages vanishing on the non-existent console or the ever popping
up error dialogs. The user can use the messages or he can just
discard them. And he's not forced to click on thousands of dialogs :)
Would that be the most "GUI user friendly" solution? Rewording
the errors is no good if the perfect error messages disappear in
the system :)
