If shellescape() is used to escape the make arguments, then passing
make flags like "-w" doesn't work. For example, invoking
":AsyncMake -w -C src" doesn't work. The above command works
without shellescape().

The plugin adds the complete make output to the quickfix list.
So you can browse through the make output in the quickfix window.

I am attaching an updated version of the plugin. This version saves
and uses the 'efm' that was set when the command was invoked.
