I tracked this down. To get this to work, I need the following:

(require 'ede)
(require 'ede/emacs)

(global-ede-mode 1)

Then when I edit a file in an Emacs git checkout, (ede-current-project)
returns the emacs project.

That project doesn't support 'compile', which is a little surprising. I
was wondering if it could handle out-of-tree builds, which I use.


Along the way, I discovered that the ede code in Emacs core is a little
broken by the recent changes in eieio/cl-generic.

I see this is fixed (at least partly?) in the current EDE SourceForge
git. So I'll use that code base for further work.
