Using the above I extended it to byte compile any file
that's major mode is emacs lisp.
Please suggest improvements.
(defun autocompile nil
"Automatically byte compile a file if it is in
emacs-lisp-mode."
(interactive)
(if (string= major-mode "emacs-lisp-mode")
(progn
(message (concat "Byte Compiling file: "
buffer-file-name))
(byte-compile-file (buffer-file-name)))))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'autocompile)
