I'd go at it like this:

The COMPILATION tag is used to determine whether an album is a
compilation (various artists) or not.

If the COMPILATION tag is not available, SqueezeCenter uses the
following logic to guess whether or not an album is a compilation: If
all of the tracks on an album share the same ARTIST or ALBUMARTIST tag,
then that album is considered to be a non-compilation.  Every album that
does not meet this requirement is considered to be a compilation.

I think there are also some exceptions for albums where all the tracks
aren't stored in the same folder, but all of the exceptions to the
above logic are pretty fringe cases, and you'd have to ask someone
other than me.
