Does anyone have any lisp code which implements both grab-file-name and/or
file-completetion when doing M-x compile?

Basically, if I am in Buffer foo.c and hit M-x compile and in my startup
file I have:

(setq compile-command "gcc ")

Then I want to see:

Compile command: gcc foo.c

Anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
