In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9shr, X toolkit) of Fri Sep 16 1994 on krait.es.ele.tue.nl

Like in emacs 19.25, the TERM env variable is set to xterm in a compilation
subshell, making my .cshrc believe it should do things it is not supporsed to
do in eg. compilation windows.
It used to be possible to prevent this from happening by checking for $EMACS,
but that is also no longer possible since 19.25

I believe that EMACS=t should be set in any emacs subprocess, and that
subprocesses generating output to an emacs buffer should have TERM set to
"unknown"
