Async build status indicator

[svermeulen]

In my fork I'm using a custom status line to display the status of the last asynchronous build. (green for successful, orange for in-progress, red for errors). I've also changed it to not pop up the quickfix list until told to do so, since I found it annoying to interrupt whatever else I had started doing, and you can do it yourself quite easily once you see it is red. Do you think any of that might be worth trying to merge into the main branch?

Sounds like it could be useful, especially if it is optional. I think my preference would be for it to pop up only when red. I guess other people would want it to work differently though.

Yeah, it also occurred to me that it might be cool if you could have it set to just constantly automatically build on save.

There might be some limitations of dispatch.vim to make that possible but I'll see what I can get working

@svermeulen Should I close this? Btw, http://codereflection.github.io/Giles/ this project is pretty handy. It will compile and run tests and show status with Growl notifications if you have Growl installed.

Thanks.

Yeah, I have it working on my machine but it's semi-broken since it's difficulty to do this correctly with dispatch, so can forget about it for now
