I do not recommend this -- his changes are untested, so we don't
want that to become master on the (I think?) official GUB used for
lilypond.

(incidently, I second the calls to have a shared "lilypond"
account on github.  I understand David's concerns about github,
and realize that moving to savannah might be better in the long
term.  But in the short term, going from github:gperciva to
github:lilypond does not lose anything.  And it's been months and
months (maybe over a year?) since I left lilypond development)

There's a way to get Julien's changes onto your local computer to
test them, but I can't speak with any certainty as to how this is
done.

Please put them on your own website for people to grab and test.
