This sounds like a good idea.  There's a number of helpful shell scripts
floating around, but AFAIK the only place to find them is by reading
mailist archives.  Should we include them with lilypond?  I don't think
that filesize is going to be an issue, although we might want to differentiate
between "normal" (or "core") Lilypond and the extras.

Should we have an extra/ directory?  We could include this script, sly*, 
rumour*,
etc.  (it would be a handy place to put all the emacs and vim files, too)

* with permission of the authors, of course.
