After yet another guile-fight to get lilypond running on my Debian
Testing systems without breaking half of the system I'm convinced that
it would be way more productive to port Lilypond to S7 Scheme
(https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/snd/s7.html) whose C interface,
IIRC is pretty much Guile-compatible (renaming scm_ to s7_).
