In compilation-set-window-height I had added save-excursion to save the first
problem about insertion point.

         (save-current-buffer
           (save-selected-window
             (save-excursion
               (select-window window)
               (enlarge-window (- height (window-height))))))

The only reason this is necessary, is that enlarge-window insists on changing
the selected window, rather than just making that the default.  My experiments
seem to indicate that adding this as a parameter, and no longer selecting the
window, might solve the problem.  But I can't be sure, till there is a 4th
parameter I can use.
