I found out how to define a whiteout stencil, but it seems that it is placed
*over* the segno sign, ignoring the order I arrange the stencils :-(

Here is what I did:

else if (str == "S")
   {
     Stencil whiteout = simple_barline (me,  2.5 * staff_space - 
thinkern - hair, h, rounded);

     Stencil segno = Font_interface::get_default_font 
(me)->find_by_name ("scripts.varsegno");
     m.add_at_edge (X_AXIS, LEFT, thin, thinkern);
     m.add_at_edge (X_AXIS, RIGHT, thin, thinkern);
     m.add_at_edge (X_AXIS, RIGHT, whiteout.in_color (255, 255, 255), 0);
     m.add_stencil (segno);
   }

I know that the whiteout should be placed only in the "S." case, but as 
this simple test fails,
I didn't go any further. Can this be solved in terms of stencils?

I think I'll go for this once the patch is pushed. I want to avoid stuffing
all in one single patch which grows too big to be handled properly.
