Yes, but unfortunately, LilyPond needs special sed treatment, since
many substitutions are made *after* configure time. I will need to
file a bug report...
Specifically, I am looking for a way to make life easier when building
LilyPond without package management (instead of running a sed script
over all the python scripts every time I need to use them).
A simple change to stepmake/aclocal.m4 would ease the process, but I
think I'll keep this as a local patch for a while...
Thanks,
Patrick
