Yes, it is.

It might be better to put it back to the beginning of the file.  FWIW
PACKAGE_NAME is used for the tarball name, so we might want to .lower()
it.

Does it work for you, i.e. is LILYPOND_BINARY set correctly in
out/c4che/default.cache.py?  I get a syntax error, and after having
fixed all of them, the check doesn't work, I can't believe you've ever
tested it in the state you pushed it.  Never mind, I hope I have this
working and I merged your wscript with mine.  Please try running 'waf
configure' with my changes to see whether it works for you.

If you have enough rights to temporarily move away config.log then any
lilypond binary from your PATH, you should be able to test all
configurations.  I haven't yet because I junked badly repeated code in
custom_configure.py:get_program_version() and haven't rewritten it yet
in miss_program().

It does, thanks!  Next main effort is writing and testing scanners and
task generators, but before this miss_program() function should be
implemented in custom_configure.py.  If you want to tackle this, you
might want to take inspiration of code in stepmake/aclocal.m4 and/or
configure.in that fills MISSING_OPTIONAL and MISSING_REQUIRED variables
as programs and program versions are checked and prints a message at the
end of configure run that includes these lists.  Please drop me a note
if/when you do so.

Best,
John
