[I hope this is the right venue for feature requests.  If not, sorry!]

When a file can't be found via the path given in a diagnostic, I'd like to be able to override the prompt that emacs gives to locate the file.  compilation-parse-errors-filename-function happens too early, while the buffer is being initially parsed.  A similar compilation-locate-file-function would be great.  If there's interest I could try to develop a patch.
