Jan or Han-Wen said we could do this.  Unless something changed in
the past year -- which it might have :(  -- it will work.  I spent
at least three years doing that.

Yes, this will be necessary.


I'm wondering more about these lines that happened during "make -C
python":

powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: ERROR:: No such file or directory

if he can't build python stuff (namely lilypond-book), then he's
hosed.

I could try to look at this in a day or two, but there's lots of
other things I need to be doing in town and university.  (such as
buying toilet paper.  Gee, these residences are cheap!  I figured
they'd give me one roll so I didn't have to find a Tesco or
Sainsburys or whatever on my very first day here...!)


For anybody who cares about the new website, especially getting it
running on master, helping him fix (or just install the additional
software) would be a good thing.  :)
