Can you arrange to make compile mode's propertization
that is necessary for RET and Mouse-1 to work properly
operate independently of whether Font Lock mode is enabled?

One idea would be to use the mechanisms of font-lock mode, but not
fontify.  The idea is that some special hack would make font-lock
operate pretty much normally even though font-lock-mode is nil, but it
would not put on any `face' properties.  This could be a feature for
modes that "need" font-lock in order to "work right".

I think this could be done fairly easily.

    We should hack something so that M-x font-lock-mode in a *grep* buffer
    signals an error or does something more clever.  Font-lock is *necessary*
    for Emacs-21's *grep* buffer.

The problem is that setting up the properties that compilation mode
depends on uses Font Lock mode.  It's ok to use the Font Lock
mechanism, but it shouldn't be affected by turning Font Lock mode
on or off.
