I agree, it is quite frustrating that this is not documented.  The only 
doc page I could find about this is here:

http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/kernel/Symbols/System/Compile.html

(Note that this is for Mathematica 3, not Mathematica 6.)

Unfortunately it seems that WRI is not putting too much effort into 
developing Compile[] any more.  It is not being taught to compile new 
functions, and its bugs are not fixed.
