Build Environment in Xemacs

[James Liang]

I noticed that there is a compile command in Xemacs, but it seems to
only
let you execute shell commands.

I know that MSVC has a way you can simply use it to run batch files
and it will
parse the output(or look at DOS return values or something) and
provide a summary of number of errors and warnings encountered.

Is there a way to do that with emacs or xemacs?
