It seems we have so many really great third-party packages (Valentin's, 
Nicolas', mine, Gilles' \extractMusic, etc... probably I'm not even aware of 
some other great ones). I think we should think about a general way to promote 
and/or include those.

Things I can imagine / think of (brainstorming):

-) Add a "Third-party extensions" section in the documentation with links and 
a short description about endorsed third-party packages

-) A third-party subdirectory in the git source tree. Available to users with 
\include "thirds-party/package/file.ly" to indicate these are not officially 
supported by the core developers, but are still distributed together with 
lilypond as a service to the users.

-) Or try to include as much of the currently external code into the stock 
lilypond distribution, like we did with the articulate script.

Cheers,
Reinhold
