Hi y'all,

Merry Christmas! I'm uploading a (barely tested) LilyPond 2.5.5
release. This release is the first one to link against FontConfig and
Pango, so now you can do

  {
    \override TextScript #'font-name = #"sans"
    c4^"test <insert some cyrillic here>"
  }

to get text in Bitstream Vera (for "test") and NimbusRoman (for
cyrillic) printed over the notes.  This is highly experimental, and
still buggy, so it is switched off by default:

 * this new mechanism is only available in the "-f ps" output,

 * the default output format has been changed back TeX while we
   stabilize the Pango/FontConfig integration.

In addition, this release fixes a few stupid packaging/compile/web-doc
bugs.
