I thought the following code should work:

(defun shrink-compilation-window-if-larger-than-buffer (buf str)
  (shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer)
  )
(if t
    (add-hook 'compilation-finish-functions
              'shrink-compilation-window-if-larger-than-buffer)
  )

but nothing happens. I believe I am missing a way to convert the BUF
argument to its window since shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer()
needs a window as argument the above code does nothing yet.
