WinHugs already colours (to some degree) and hyperlinks error messages.

on that page)

GuiHaskell does it a lot more, with full syntax colouring of error
messages and hyperlinks. Unfortunately it can't be used reliably at
the moment due to threading issues with Gtk+Gtk2Hs+GHC+Windows.

GuiHaskell merely wraps GHCi (and Hugs and other stuff), so allows
syntax colouring to be implemented without diving into the GHC source
code.

Thanks

Neil

PS. The Haskell-cafe mailing list is better for this sort of question,
haskell tends to be more used for announcements, so i've sent the
follow up there.
