Well, I think we should just drop ec-fonts-mftraced and update lilypond
to 2.10.0.  The only problem is that so far I can make it build but it
fails on installation.  I think I should commit anyway.  There is no
point fixing an old version of the software.  We may as well have a new
version that doesn't work instead.  In fact, what I have now is a step
ahead because at least it builds.

I think the problem installing may be a Guile issue btw.  I have
created a new package for Guile updating it but there are quite a few
changes and I wondered if someone would check me.  In particular, I
have to change the name of a header and all references to it because
the name, strings.h, gets confused with our own.  My fix is rather
brutish and I would appreciate any comments before I commit.

The package is at ftp://ftp.druid.net/pub/distrib/guile.pkg.tgz
