If option `compilation-read-command' is non-nil then you are prompted with
completion for the compilation command to use.  You can set the history variable
`compile-history' ahead of time, so you can then use `M-n', `M-p', `M-s', and
`M-r' to access the commands on your list.

(This is according to what I see in the code in `compile.el'.  I don't often use
`compile' myself.)
