compile-command, suggested improvement

[Daniel R. Grayson]

I have 

        (make-variable-buffer-local 'compile-command)

in my .emacs file.  It would be really nice if, when the *compilation* buffer
is created as part of the execution of the 'compile command, the local value
of the variable 'compile-command in that new buffer were set to the value
that was in effect the buffer active at the time the 'compile command was
run.  Then I could rerun the make command by running 'compile in the
*compilation* buffer!

If no one is interested in implementing this, but you would be willing to
accept it if someone else did, let me know.
