    In fact: ECB has some tasks which should be run really(!) stealthy, like
    checking if a dir is empty, getting the VC-state of all files in a dir,
    checking which files in a dir are read-only... in case of a remote host

The best way to do this and make sure it is stealthy is by running a
subprocess.  The subprocess can run in parallel with Emacs.
