New issue 1797 by percival.music.ca: fixcc.py should warn about astyle  
version
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1797

fixcc.py should check that astyle is present, and that the version is  
exactly 2.02.  For reference, this could be checked like this:
address@hidden:~$ astyle --version
Artistic Style Version 2.02

(just wrap that in a subprocess.open, catch the output, and check that it's  
equal).

Note that we do NOT want to allow a later version than astyle 2.02.  When a  
later version is out, we'll examine the output it produces, and alter the  
version number in fixcc.py as appropriate.


ETA: 30 minutes, assuming previous familiarity with the python subprocess  
module.  Ideal for a frog, or anybody who wants a reason to learn (or  
practice) python.
