That will not work for IOutputParsers. They propagate their signals 
along the chain of parsers and through the buildmanager. The 
outputwindow gets all of them from the buildmanager, so trying to 
retrieve the sender will fail.

IOutputParsers are a very differet beast from the OutputFormaters. The 
former are meant to extract warning/error lines and do not do any 
formating. The latter obviously do.

I am not sure we support this, yet in Compile Output. Basically the 
compile output is meant to be simple: Red lines are those we got from 
stderr, black lines those from stdout. That is all we do there.

No, those do not work on the Compile Output window AFAIR.
