add a command to run shell, in addition to the already added eshell.
Would you like to do the honors?
No problem, done.

Regarding the key binding change you have done in that patch, which of the
following two options do you prefer?

- Move project-eshell to 'e', project-shell to 'E', project-find-regexp
   back to 's',

The problem is that there is no mnemonic connection between
'E' and 'project-shell'.  'E' stands for 'Emacs' in 'Emacs-Shell' (eshell).

They both have 'e' in their names. If we imagine that both 's' and 'h' are taken (the latter standing for 'help', maybe), then 'e' is kind of a natural choice.

And maybe 'search' is more important than 'shell', as far as the choice for 's' goes.

The main thought behind this option is that 'shell' and 'eshell' are not too different, so it should make sense to put them on the same letter.

- Or move project-find-regexp to 'g'.

If you have no plans to implement 'project-grep' then 'g' should be fine.

While I might not, it can't stop somebody else, especially if that's for their personal config only. But we could also use 'G' for it.
