IIRC, it's a compile-time option which by default is off (i.e., you need to
recompile lily manually).

Again, if your only problem is to adjust offsets etc, then getting the gnome
back-end to work may be a good solution for this problem too (i.e.: insert
EPS markups without considering spacing offsets, then move them to the right
spot using the gnome back-end). A problem here is that EPS images probably
won't show up in the gnome back-end. IIRC, it's possible to store a bitmap
preview in an EPS image; in this case it may be possible to hack the gnome
back-end to extract & display the preview.
