That's probably a nice interface. A slightly more low-level mechanism is what I 
had in mind, a `make-process` variant that starts an Emacs subprocess with the 
required arguments to set up a sandbox and leaving it to the user to supply 
remaining arguments. But maybe we are really talking about more or less the 
same thing.

Very reasonable. Or would you prefer having the sandboxing in flymake?
