The idea is good, but the output is very ugly: the first line becomes
too long, and the compile command is no more easy to find and read.

Since your intention was to save the command as a file local variable,
what do you think about putting an `invisible' property over the added
`compile-command' in the first line?

Then the first line doesn't become longer, and the compile command
still is clearly visible where it currently is.
