It should at least distinguish errors from warnings.  Other than that,
I'd prefer if they were more uniform, e.g.,

  "<Type> occured after last TeX file closed"

where <Type> is either Warning or Error.

I didn't try it out but issuing the messages and displaying help sounds
right.  However, I'm not sure if visiting the master file is sensible.
If we don't know the error/warning location anyway, we might as well
stay were we are.
