Bug description

Suppose I make a trivial typo in a lexer spec. When I "make", I get:

ocamllex lexer.mll
File "lexer.mll", line 84, character 10: syntax error.

All is great, the emacs fruit salad is on full display :-) But now let's make a more sophisticated error:

ocamllex lexer.mll
Reference to unbound regexp name `uppecase' at char 3458

It would help emacs (and other IDEs such as eclipse, I assume) if this message was of the form

File "..", line .., character ..:

as well.

Peace be with the Great Camel.
