   I stole this nice trick somewhere

     (defun kill-compile-buffer-if-successful (buffer string)
       (if (string-match "finished" string)        ^ 
           (run-with-timer 1 nil                   | 
                           'kill-buffer            | 
                           buffer)))               | 
                                                   | 
     (add-hook 'compilation-finish-functions 'kill | 
ompile-buffer-if-successful)
                                                   | 
   And actually it's very nice, in short if the co | ilation succeeds the
   buffer is killed, but there are two small probl | s:
                                                   | 
   - not just "compile" uses compilation mode, for | xample grep also does
     but then the buffer disappears too soon.      | 
     Is there a way to distiguish between those di | erent things?
                                                   | 
The first arg to the function is the buffer. ------+
You can test that.
