Well the best pneumatics set is the 8868 truck which includes a compressor.
The directions can be found at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/8000/8868/
<http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/8000/8868/>
The Dacta pneumatics kit contains directions for an electro-mechanical
switch.
Lego does not make an electro-mechanical solenoid valve but fischertechnik
does. I have used an RCX to drive my fischertechnik system. See:
http://www.geocities.com/mihalkam/pneumorobots.html
<http://www.geocities.com/mihalkam/pneumorobots.html>
Fischertechnik rates the valves at 9V 1A which may make mobile operation
difficult. That will be a project for this weekend. Other valves have been
on sale on this list recently.
Enjoy!

That is a great site for basic set-up, but what about a
compressor
application. What are the ways of establishing an
electrical/mechanical means
of operation?
