Not sure about the black background for that... just the colored text would be 
clear enough, I think (error red, message blue, code purple on white looks 
good, I feel).
But we can make these configurable, I think.

changing the post color would be useful if we make it configurable, so we can 
implement the Document.postColor method in ScelDocument.
does emacs-lisp take rgb colors?
then we could just define a sclang-post-color variable, and use that for the 
postColor.
Same for listener background, I guess...
sclang-post-background-color

Another suggestion is collapsing the "Extension overwriting" messages at 
startup in a similar fashion as Error...
From 5 to 1 lines will look much nicer :)
