Yes, this support seems to be wholy broken, as a non emacs user I had
failed to test it correctly as I added the --file option. Bad Andy.

In testing it I note we are emitting wholy the wrong line number, and
the filename was off as you fixed up in your patch.

As I understand things this is called emacs mode because the emacs
buffer mode expects the filename:line:message format with the long error
to follow. It seems pretty emacs specific. So for now I'll leave it
named that. If people convince me its --compiler-format or something we
can add that as an alias later.

I have hopefully sorted the main problems with it and will push out an
update for testing.
