Want old "*compilation*" behavior back!

I've looked through the NEWS files and comint.el/compile.el without luck, so 
....

I recently upgraded from Emacs 21 to 23.  In Emacs 21, if I split a window 
vertically and was in the left-hand buffer and did `M-x compile', the 
*compilation* buffer would appear in the right-hand buffer (unless the 
left-hand 
buffer was already *compilation*, in which case it would be reused).  In 
general, it put *compilation* in the "next" buffer unless there was only one 
buffer, in which case it would split the buffer.

In Emacs 23, it reuses the *compilation* buffer if that buffer is already 
visible, but otherwise it splits my current buffer instead of using the 
existing 
"next" buffer.

I liked the old behavior much better, but I don't see a way to get it back.  
Any 
help?
