Yes, it is. The part that I omitted in my e-mail was "look at the 
compile and install scripts in the lilypond fink package and adapt them 
to you needs". The key here is how I call configure:

BISON=/usr/bin/bison PYTHON=%p/bin/python2.2 GUILE=%p/bin/guile-1.6 
GUILE_CONFIG=guile-1.6-config ./configure %c

the two guile related environment variables set up for proper use of 
guile 1.6 (the python and bison variables may be less essential, the 
python one is just to ensure a consistent build and the latter to avoid 
unfortunate interactions with the fink bison package).

Interesting. Last time I tried to make a package, there were just too 
many unresolved dependencies, but somebody ported autotrace since then, 
so maybe I should make another attempt at packaging mftrace.

Please let me know if other build issues crop up
