OK.
Perhaps the authors will provide such an enhancement in future, as is
would be useful for complicated jobs with multiple real compiles ...

Yep sorry.
Compile command does not take args for descriptions, sure it can be extended
to do so but I'd like to stay on course
for a pure upstream Buildbot. (We only have a couple of custom methods to
keep track of).
Luckily ShellCommand provides a description and descriptionDone which gets
displayed. Technically you don't need
Compile anyway so please see r799926 where I went ahead and changed it all
around. Your next build should be a
bit more useful. Feel free to tweak as necessary.
