Ok, thanks for clearing that up. It's not useful for me, though, since
neither will "make" work in the "basepath" of my project, nor will a
single run command do me good, since the project has very many different
sub-targets and I could want to run any of them at any time.

At least the embedded Terminal is saving me some screen real-estate.
Would be nice to be able to attach more than one of them. Also, I
noticed a bug with that Terminal: If I "svn commit" from within it, I
have "nano" set as SVN_EDITOR. The keyboard shortcuts inside nano do not
work in the embedded Terminal, and there is actually no way to get out
of nano.
