I tried this, but unfortunately for some errors, the file is still the
.aux file, for example when defining multiple labels with the same
name.

I added a horrible hack to the vim-latex code though, which some might
benefit from, but there are surely much better ways to do it:


diff --git a/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim
b/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim
index 28213fa..d4552c2 100644
--- a/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim
