Hi. Here's a tiny patch to add a modeline indicator when using
follow-minor-mode

This seems like a pretty uncontroversial change, but not all minor modes
(especially the more "global" ones) create a lighter, because that would
be a lot of ... mode line stuff.

I don't use follow mode myself, so I don't know.  Opinions?

This has been added in the meantime, and it's " Fol", apparently:

(define-minor-mode next-error-follow-minor-mode
  "Minor mode for compilation, occur and diff modes.

When turned on, cursor motion in the compilation, grep, occur or diff
buffer causes automatic display of the corresponding source code location."
  :group 'next-error :init-value nil :lighter " Fol"
