Comment #1 on issue 1055 by pnorcks: guile 2.0

Here's an update on where we are with regard to Guile 2.0 compatibility...

- Many, many backward-compatibility issues have been fixed upstream, which  
is good for us.

- Ian is working on a backward-compatibility patch:  
http://www.codereview.appspot.com/1160044/show

- I have managed to hack my way around other compile failures and just had  
my first successful build today.  For those interested, I will keep my  
latest patches on repo.or.cz:

- I think there is a problem with the interface between Paper_outputter and  
the output modules (output-ps.scm, output-svg.scm, etc.), because I  
sometimes see compile failures where stencil expressions are evaluated  
incorrectly.

- The LilyPond fonts (emmentaler-*.otf) are loaded *very* slowly with Guile  
1.9, but I haven't looked into that yet.
