Re: compilation-scroll-output should be an autoload

I've got this humming glob of code I wrote to run shell commands
and compilations automagically.  In particular, I need to have
several compiles running at once, each with a unique value of
`compilation-search-path'.

Sometimes, (and the trick is figuring out *when*), when I run my
command in a fresh Emacs session, my command calls `compile', the
"compile" package auto-loads and then I get an error about
`compilation-scroll-output' not being set.  The compilation is
running, but because of the error (presumably inside
`compile-internal'), my code unwinds before it gets to rename the
"*compilation*" buffer.

Most times it works fine, though.  I spent some time on a test
case yesterday but I didn't get anywhere.  Man oh man, was I
gonna show *you*.

Anyway.

PS - I have `compilation-scroll-output' Customized to "on", if
that makes any difference.
