Since (add-hook 'compilation-mode-hook 'rename-uniquely) doesn't work
for creating unique buffer names I'm using this instead:

(setq compilation-buffer-name-function
      (lambda (name-of-mode)
        (generate-new-buffer-name
         (concat "*" (downcase name-of-mode) "*"))))

but it removes the project prefix on `g'.
