I have fixed two things. First, progress along the file only depends
on *compile-verbose*. This means the messages Compiling... Emitting...
will not disappear if you set suppress-compiler-notes to nil.

Second, notes, warnings and errors print the file, file position and
form if available. Currently this is not of much use because the forms
are most of the times macroexpanded and on the second pass the context
has already been forgotten. Both things should be fixed, but we
already have a starting point.

Besides that, the condition system for the compiler has been
implemented. We are still missing changes that allow one to catch the
conditions and intercept them, or just collect them and print them all
together, etc, etc.
