[texworks] Show warnings and overfill boxes

[Jonathan Kew]

The experimental (v0.3) build includes a proof-of-concept script that  
looks for errors in the log and displays them in a summary format; you  
can then (double?)click them to go to the source at that location.

Getting this to be 100% reliable is a difficult problem, though,  
because the log output isn't really designed to be machine-readable,  
and it's hard to keep track of the current input file when packages or  
other macros could also be writing arbitrary text to the console/log  
at any time. (I don't believe Alain's Lua script would be reliable in  
this regard either.)

Running the underlying tex tools with the -file-line-error option  
would help somewhat, though it would still not be completely  
foolproof. Perhaps I'll try that once the scripting support is more  
mature.
