I'll leave that to Han-Wen or Werner to decide...

Attached is a patch to implement straight flags (in modern style, i.e. slanted 
only ~20 degrees). I think the angles (different angles for up/down stems!) 
and the lengths are okay, although they might still be fine-tuned a bit more.

I've also fixed the issue with acciaccaturas (in the way I described in my 
previous mail: I added flags.straightugrace and modified stem.cc to use a 
glyph that does also contain the flag style, i.e. flags.straightugrace, but 
fall back to flags.ugrace if such a flag-style-specific grace glyph does not 
exist). However, I didn't find the exact cause of my second problem, where 
the flags do not start at the very end of the stem, but are shifted a little 
inwards... To see this problem, look at the attached sample file: In the 
second line (the down stems) the flags do not line up exactly with the end of 
the stem :(

I'm also attaching a test file to show the different flag styles.

Any comments? Okay to apply to master?

Cheers,
Reinhold
