New issue 834 by v.villenave: midi2ly broken on Windows systems
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=834

This has been reported for years, and reproduced with 2.6, 2.8, 2.10, 2.12
and 2.13, on various Windows systems so I'm guessing it actually never  
worked.


Any invocation of midi2ly (with a mingw build) fails with the following
message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 991, in ?
   main()
 File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 989, in main
   convert_midi (f, o)
 File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 823, in  
convert_midi
   for (dur, num, den) in global_options.allowed_tuplets:
SystemError:
/home/lilydev/vc/gub/target/mingw/src/python-2.4.2/Objects/listobject.c:243:  
bad
argument to internal function


However, midi2ly does work on OSX and GNU/Linux. I suspect that some of the
bindings in midi.c are wrongly linked when compiling the dll.

(I know that such scripts are no longer supported, let alone on Windows
systems. But things like this might discourage newcomers, so as usual I am
personally willing to throw in a €50 bounty and/or double an existing
bounty to get a fully working midi2ly on all supported systems.)
