It would be possible to implement this for gdc, too:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Language-Independent-Options.html#index-fdiagnostics-color-239

?
Also, error messages more similar to those spitted out by gcc. 
Compare:

test01.c:3:1: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or 
‘__attribute__’ before ‘int’
  int main() {
  ^

with

test01.d:3: Error: no identifier for declarator eroare
test01.d:3: Error: semicolon expected, not 'int'

that is: also provide column, display the offending line, add a 
caret on the next line.

I know it is not the end of the world, but it would be nice. Did 
not test with ldc...
