Does anyone here have experience creating multivalue/compound CCK text-fields? I'm trying to create one and so far it seems you either have to a) make your own cck component or b) use Form API. Any advice would be much appreciated.

For now the only solution
For now the only solution seems to be a custom field type.
Basing this on the 'link' cck module is often where people start.
There are a few projects trying to make this available through CCK but it seems that a solution will be available for CCK 3.0 (available in dev) called multigroup.
See this thread:

And this:

And CCK 6.x-3.x-dev:

If you try this out, give us some feedback.
Thanks man, I'll look into
Thanks man, I'll look into it. Do you know of CCK3 is considered fairly stable yet?
Other choices
If still relevant and for anyone else stumbling over this there is also the
Matrix field cck module
And the
Table field cck module
Both of which offer A multivalue option in each their limited way - try them out.
CCK3 multigroup works but there is squabble over the future now that cck has made it into core... (fx: http://drupal.org/node/637860#comment-2900496)
