The goal of the scripts was to assume that everything needed to build
LilyPond (and its dependencies) is already there, only the runtime
dependencies are taken care of. This is why we don't build GCC and
other stuff from source (because it was horrible in GUB), and
downloading pre-built binary stuff goes even more against this
principle.
