   Via, ah, subprocesses?

No, GNU Emacs has several news and mail reader agents written in emacs
lisp.  Many people prefer these to the standard news and mail readers.

   If your emacs _is_ getting charged for that time, you'd better bitch
   at your system administrator, because something is rotten in the
   state of Denmark.

Be careful, this is an international network :-).

   It's not really relevant, but it's very easy to do compiles from inside
   vi.  :!make will do the job just fine, for instance.

Then emacs parse the error messages, and move to the first file/line
with an error. This is just a tradeoff between CPU time and human
time.
