The refactor patch has been applied in cvs, but none of the other ones
have been.

Right now, all I can get lilypond cvs to do is segfault.  It might be
because I only have guile-1.6.4 instead of guile-1.6.5.  I cannot find a
higher rpm for fc3.  Yes, I'm lazy.

I'll resubmit 2-5 when I can get lilypond working again.

Concerning filename.patch, my argument for allowing snippet files to be
named bach.ly (bach.png, etc) instead of bach-373738.ly is that knowing
the real name allows me do do things which the lilypond programmers did
not think of.  I can link to those images from another document, I can
compile a .midi from the .ly and link to that, etc.  And all without
having old links break and wondering what the new name will be if I tweak
the music.
