As you hinted, M-x follow mode RET & comint, shell, compile or similar,
poss. with M-x ansi color for comint mode on RET, which gives color
sequences only.  If you need stuff like tput cup, M-x ansi-term, but I
doubt that works sanely with follow-mode.

You can't have follow-mode in emacs -batch.

The only other idea I have would be to do something wacky like rendering
a long, thin xterm offscreen, then grabbing its top and bottom and
displaying them side-by-side, using opengl or something (I skipped that
class).  I was talking to a guy yesterday who was doing something along
those lines so he could have floating xterms embedded in his Oculus Rift
3d space.
