Notification upon completion of compilation

[Gunnar Morling]

So I've found one solution that seems good enough for my purposes: I'm
counting the PARSE finished events. That way I know when I've received
the last ANALYZE finished event, at which point I can take my required
action (generating a resource file in this case).

Thanks again,
