Hello Stefan,

The attached patch looks like a good addition to compile.el. Bind it to
C-o as in occur-mode. -- Leo

Thanks.  The name of the command could have more mnemonic payload,
though.  How about compilation-msg-locus-other-window?

The name 'compilation-display-error' is more consistent with how things
are named in compile.el, for example, compile-goto-error. And commands
end with -other-window usually switch you to that window.

Hi Eli,

I have put the code in trunk. If you have a better name than
compilation-display-error feel free to tweak it ;)
