Apply faces to string output to mini-buffer

[Miguel Guedes]

Hello List,

How can faces be applied to strings output to the minibuffer?

An elisp client I'm writing receives data asynchronously from a server 
and I would very much like to apply faces to it. So the following string 
should have the appropriate faces applied to type, variable and function 
name, and so on:

boost::shared_ptr<const PrecompiledHeader> get(unsigned int index)
