Removed:
tramp-cache.elc
tramp-cmds.elc
tramp-compat.elc
tramp-ftp.elc
tramp-gvfs.elc
tramp-gw.elc
tramp-sh.elc
tramp-smb.elc
tramp-uu.elc
tramp.elc
trampver.elc

and left:
tramp-cache.el
tramp-cmds.el
tramp-compat.el
tramp-ftp.el
tramp-gvfs.el
tramp-gw.el
tramp-loaddefs.el
tramp-sh.el
tramp-smb.el
tramp-uu.el
tramp.el
trampver.el

and restarted emacs. My .emacs has:

(require 'tramp)  ;; using 2.26
(require 'tramp-sh)
(setq tramp-verbose 6)
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
   '("myhost" nil "/plink:address@hidden:"))

(defconst my-tramp-prompt-regexp
  (concat (regexp-quote "Host:") "\\s-*")
  "Regular expression matching my login prompt question.")

(defun my-tramp-action (proc vec)
  "Enter the host name in order to give a correct answer."
  (save-window-excursion
    (with-current-buffer (tramp-get-connection-buffer vec)
      (tramp-message vec 6 "\n%s" (buffer-string))
      (tramp-send-string vec "myhost"))))

(add-to-list 'tramp-actions-before-shell
              '(my-tramp-prompt-regexp my-tramp-action))


And it works. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (after 50-off emails:-)

Completion works, and performance is adequate. Saving files works too.

Now PATH is a subset of what I usually have when i login with the usual methods.
The PATH that tramp finds is:
/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
svn could not be found because it's not in that PATH
There are a couple of dirs to remove, and a couple to add.
I've tried      (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path)
but then tramp hanged.

1. Is there a concept of a remote current directory? Do I change it
with M-x cd ?
2. How do I launche a remote compile?
3. Can I open a remote shell inside emacs, a la   M-x shell ?

Thanks Michael,
