Particularly these compilations I saved and re-visited during the  
last days where saved outside the "default-directory" to avoid any  
complaints from cvs, svn, git, or such. Is the meaning of "default- 
directory" that to allow easy re-compilation? Can this really work,  
i.e. can GNU Emacs find how compilation then started? Or would it  
simply try a "make?" Re-compilation works in the "live" buffer, but  
then I use repeat-complex-command or M-x compile RET and step  
backward in history, so a complicated compile command can be  
retrieved, changed if necessary, and started again.

*I* would not mind if "default-directory" is removed ...

There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does  
not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
