compilation-start-hook

[Sam Steingold]

I use "omake -P" which monitors files and automatically recompiles when they 
change, i.e., the process in the compilation buffer never exits.
However, I do not want to be asked about a running process when I do C-x C-c, 
so I thought of adding compilation-start-hook:

any objections?
