This commit: 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commit;h=8d2268dbc8bcd94e14105196a8f8ac0ed8fceb34

adds the file mp/mf2pt1.mp to our git repository. This file contains
"input mfplain" so it relies on mfplain.mp being available. We can
search for mfplain.mp during ./configure using kpsewhich, but I wonder
if we should instead just distribute this file in our git repository
along with mf2pt1.mp? c.c.ing Werner who added mf2pt1.mp initially.
