That's interesting. I will use it to implement this feature.

I modified the error_handler also to look for the source if a compiled 
module was not found. I will probably remove that feature and only 
compile the module to be run. I can do that in my android module, so I 
will be able to leave error_handler.erl unmodified. Quite a relief for 
everybody, I am sure. :-)
