Even when it is only a one-liner, it has to be documented, it must
comply to GNU coding standards, our coding standards (which forbid
Perl and sed), be generally useful, and regularly QA'd.

If it's not integrated in the Lilypond system, then it will not be
maintained by the development team, and should therefore not be
integrated in the tarball.
