If people don't want compilation tags, don't frig the code so they get them, 
just to avoid an issue in some other bit of code.  It's not the right thing to 
do; quite a fundamental change.  Config pref changes will require rescan.  If 
someone explicitly doesn't want it to be set.  I'm not sure what further 
implications there could be for other browse methods, but does that work for 
iTunesImport and MusicIP scanning?

A better and potentially low-risk is to change browse menu sql to not filter 
out compilation artist from list of artists in the normal place.  After all, 
that's what people are really requesting.  The special "Various Artists" artist 
(that only contains compilations) can continue to exist at the top of the list.

And/Or detect if there's no compilation albums, don't display the special entry.
