One more question. If I wanted the benefit of asynchronous generation of the tags file (ie, not having to wait 30 seconds for a big list of dependencies to be created before my emacs session is active again) is there a way to query the completion status of a compile session so I could start a timer and poll every few seconds for compilation completion? This would also be useful for functions like compile-and-run or compile-and-debug where you want to wait for compilation to be done before proceeding with the next step (but might want to continue browsing through the code in the mean time).
