huah, it is worse than I thought.

I tried once to get this running but left it, because it was more than
just install and work. I also tried to write a guile extension to start
a java-jvm. No joke, it is running and I can display lilypond code in a
web-browser from an arbitrary music-expression. But of course it is
really unstable - I think it is not a good idea to have two garbage
collectors running the same time. And of course this project is pure
procrastination ;)

Would it also be easier to make lilypond a library, if it is based on
guile v2?

Best, Jan-Peter
