Hi Alex,

One would typically use a compile context in conjunction with the
database pager, but it can be used for other purposes.  It's a feature
that is a bit bleeding edge on some platforms though, with OpenGL
drivers simply not coping with multiple context sharing the same GL
objects and running multi-threaded.
