it's useful for the STL, where each error goes like this:

mystlfile.cpp:666: undefined variable template class 
std::stack<this_and_that<class vector> *bleh_bleh_bleh<> 
template<deque<this_and_that> class 
this_has_lots_of_underscores_and_goes_on_and_on> foreach<> unsigned> auto 
stl_is_hell

so colorgcc makes eat easy to recognize the start of the error.  Of course, 
we use Qt, and each line is simple, like:

myqtlfile:777: undefined variable class QStack<unsigned>

so colorgcc doesn't seem necessary :)
