Hi,

I was fixing a bug in my AucTeX and found that at present it is 
difficult to parse the output from texexec.  Basically Emacs runs 
texexec in a buffer in --batchmode, then tries to parse the output 
whether an error occurred and where.  Unfortunately with texexec I don't 
get any error messages (besides the return code), so if something goes 
wrong, the user only knows that something isn't right, but not what it 
is.  (It also doesn't print page numbers, either.)  In comparison, LaTeX 
when run in \nonstopmode prints the error message normally and continues 
to process the file; that makes it easy to parse it, jump to the line 
where the error was detected and even present the user with an 
explanation of the error message.

In order to get similar features with ConTeXt, it would be nice if 
texexec could be made to be a little bit more verbose in its --batchmode 
output.  Is there a way to do this currently?

Philipp
