Too much talk.

The current implementation, when it works, is fine.  But to put things
down simply:

The following assumes the same ALBUM title for all tracks, so we're not
discussing Slim's ability to identify that the tracks belong together in
one volume.

1. COMPILATION tag set to YES (rest of tags make no difference) = album
is a compilation

2. No Compilation tag (null), all tracks exactly the same artist  = NOT
compilation

3. Compilation set to NO (rest of tags make no difference) = album is
NOT a compilation

4. No Compilation tag (null), all or some tracks different artist =
album is a compilation

5. No compilation tag (null) or compilation set to NO *AND* ALBUMARTIST
specified and identical for all tracks = album NOT a compilation and is
listed under the ALBUMARTIST

6. Compilation tag set to YES *AND* ALBUMARTIST specified and identical
for all tracks = album is a compilation and should likely be listed
under ALBUM ARTIST. The track artist listing rule comes from the
current compilation prefs.

Personally I don't mind if it's mandatory to specify the compilation
tag for compilation albums, but I understand a lot of people rely on
some server-side guessing to make this conclusion currently, so I
wouldn't recommend breaking this if it's already in place.
