I think the path stencil has a better format that Mike's
make-connected-shape stencil, because its input is tied closely to
postscript and SVG definitions.

However, if the path stencil won't work for the woodwind diagrams, because
it doesn't calculate the extents carefully enough, I'm not opposed to having
both stencils available.

I admit I'm somewhat ignorant of the need for all of the checking in
make-connected-shape, but it seems like overkill for the path stencil.

Thanks,
