[Tobias Ringstrom]

The emacs compile mode opens a new compile message window the first time you
compile in a new frame, even if you already have a compile window in another
frame.  This patch makes emacs open only one compile window.  The user can open
more windows manually if needed.  One example of when this patch is useful is
to make it possible to have a dedicated compile message frame, not window.

The patch is for emacs 20.7, but should apply to almost any version.
