You are right.  Maybe we are sending conflicting messages: do not
compile Lily!  Help us (with the docs), send patches!

What to do?  Maybe we should just change the 'do not compile' attitude
a bit, and have 'supported' development platforms with a detailed
recipe to compile lily.  The contributers of binary releases should
make sure that the recipe stays up to date.  Would this work?
