This isn't about telnet; it's about having a "persistent" lilypond with  
guile loaded in memory.  This eliminates about 0.5 seconds from every time  
you run lilypond.  It just so happens that this implementation uses netcat  
and telnet, rather than local pipes or sockets or all the other ways of  
inter-process communication.

Now, if you're compiling a big score that takes 30 seconds, then saving 0.5  
seconds isn't significant.  But if you're compiling 200 one-line files that  
each take 0.75 seconds, then saving 0.5 is a *huge* benefit.
