It locally installs the package's dependencies and starts emacs with a 
clean profile that only has those dependencies available. It doesn't do 
much, but it's easy to use and it seems to help prevent "it works with 
my setup" scenarios. I only started using it recently though so I'm not 
very familiar with it, nor am I very skilled with make for that matter ;)

What would a simple Makefile for a typical elisp package look like? Is 
it common practice to create clean environments like cask does?
