Thanks, one comment:

There is an ellipsis at the end of the menu item that indicates
that the command reads a directory from the minibuffer.
So maybe a better command would be 'project-find-dir' that reads
a directory like its counterpart 'project-find-file' reads a file:

This will make the menu item too wide.  Would it be possible to omit
the word "Interactively".  I don't know why it's used in
"Run Shell Interactively", but "Run Shell In Project Root"
looks much nicer.

I think the text of the menu item "Compile Buffer Directory..."
is too hard to understand.  Probably better to retain the old text.
