Work, but have the following bug:

=========== foo.c ==============
#include <stdio.h>
#include "foo.h"

int main()
{
  return 0;
}
=========== foo.h ===============
int a();
jgh
int b();
==============================

Geany open foo.h fine, but in status window I see the following:
"Could not open file ./In file included from foo.c (No such file or 
directory)"

That is because error output is:
================================
In file included from foo.c:2:
foo.h:3: error: syntax error before "int"
make: *** [main] Error 1
================================

Here is a patch that fix this issue (I tested with gcc) not sure for other 
compilers error format.

Index: src/utils.c
===================================================================

-			field_min_len = 3;
+			field_min_len = 4;
 			field_idx_line = 1;
 			field_idx_file = 0;
 			break;



Another feature that will make me happy is ability to show only error summary 
after compilation (Only strings that can be used for jump to error line).
 
Syntax error are very simple most time and I don't need to watch full compiler 
output for them.

so I want only 

foo.h:3: error: syntax error before "int"

in previous example.
