#4 flymake-err-line-patterns not uniform

[Jochen T.]

flymake-err-line-patterns includes compilation-error-regexp-alist, which has (now) a different structure

while flymake-err-line-patterns is:
(regexp file-idx line-idx col-idx err-text-idx)
t is:
software-identifier
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist looks more similar but is still different ...
(software-identifier regexp file-idx line-idx ? ?)

this leads to an error, if none flymake.el's patterns matches and the first entry of compilation... "absoft" is used, which is no list and therefore stops flymake when no error occurs on (for example) a php syntax-check. (which replies with: No syntax errors detected in [filename])

a temporary fix is to remove compilation... from the list
