Chip gave you a potential solution that will give you option (1).

Assuming you're working on a *nix system, I believe you could add '|
col -b' to your 'makeprg' or 'shellpipe' options to accomplish option
(2).

I just recently learned about 'col -b' from a Vim tip about using Vim
as a man page viewer. Very useful! Especially if you don't have the
conceal patch that Chip mentions.
