The newly added vc-compilation-mode function does not have the best
name, -mode functions stand for modes, this is not one.

Currently the preferred way to define modes is to use `defined-derived-mode'...

Also the implementation seems to be a bit more complicated than needed:

Defining a vc-default-compilation-mode function should simplify the
implementation.  vc-make-backend-sym is something that very few things
need to call.

I'm leaving on vacation, so I won't be able to do much about this for a while.
