When some other window is compiling, clicking "Compiling" seen in the
mode line should take us to that window.

That sounds useful.

Hm.  Unfortunately, compile.el (ab)uses the minor-mode-alist for this
stuff, so we only get the minor mode menu up instead of being able to
put actions on these elements?

(or (assq 'compilation-in-progress minor-mode-alist)
    (setq minor-mode-alist (cons '(compilation-in-progress " Compiling")
				 minor-mode-alist)))

I'm not sure what the right way to fix this would be...  perhaps stop
pretending it's a minor mode?  But where would be put the lighter then?

Would mode-line-process work?

That's a buffer-local variable, and the "Compiling" is shown in all mode
lines, so that wouldn't work, I think?

Perhaps `global-mode-string' is a good place to put this?

I put it in mode-line-modes, because that's what erc-track did.

And I made it "[Compiling] ", because that's also what erc-track does,
but feel free to bikeshed the look of the ... lighter.
