A trick I used before I started using ECB, which does that sort of thing
for you, was to open up a third window (C-x 2 in the lower one) and
resize them to the sizes I wanted.

I'd compile once and usually it put *compile* in the right place. If
not, just use some (C-x,b)'ing to put *compile* where you want it. Now,
next time it's run, it already has a window, so won't hijack one of the
ones you want.
