Well, anybody can call himself a true emacs user (even though I myself
is arguing that Haziz shouldn't try to turn Emacs into a "traditional"

Unit tests: yes, definitely. But there are lots of things that don't
fit into the Makefile.

Personally, I always run a shell in a separate terminal emulator (or
many in a screen(1) session). I'm sure I could have used M-x shell
instead, but that's how I learned it.
