Here at work, I have lilypond1.3-1.3.150-1 installed, which has MF
fonts in /usr/share/lilypond/mf.  In $HOME/usr/src/lilypond/mf are my
1.4.0 fonts.

My MFINPUTS are set to $HOME/usr/src/lilypond/mf.

Now, when I run ly2dvi foo.ly, the old mf sources in
/usr/share/lilypond/mf will be used, although MFINPUTS and datadir
both point to the correct directory, all gets messed up by this:

>       'GS_LIB' : datadir + '/ps',

Why did you do this, or why/when is this necessary?  LilyPond, or in
this case `datadir' should be the best choice, always?

What to do?  I'd like to revert this patch, but you're the
tex-installation guru...

Jan.
