Pass-thru of ANSI color codes for compilation warnings/errors was recently
added to mach. If emacs users don't have ansi-mode turned on for
compilation buffers, they'll now see raw ANSI codes, which makes reading
errors difficult.

To turn on ansi-mode for compilation buffers, add the following code to
your .emacs:

(ignore-errors
  (require 'ansi-color)
  (defun my-colorize-compilation-buffer ()
    (when (eq major-mode 'compilation-mode)
      (ansi-color-apply-on-region compilation-filter-start (point-max))))
  (add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook 'my-colorize-compilation-buffer))
