Fixing the 255-character limit on linker error messages is in the V9 
plan, and if there are any limits you've seen for the compiler error 
messages, I'd like to fix those as well.

I know the 3.0 C/C++ front-end we're using for the V9 compiler has 
better errors for some things, but I'm not sure if it does any of the 
"name-folding" things that Scott Meyers suggests to make template errors 
more managable.  I'll check with the compiler team and see if they'd 
done anything in this area.

You can see the release notes for the 3.0 FE at 
http://www.palmoswerks.com/gemsStorage/CWCCNotes3.0.txt.  These were 
from the release that went out with CodeWarrior for Macintosh and 
Windows, V8 that was released in May... we should have a few more fixes 
by the time we release our next tools.
