*sigh*

I was interpreting "GNU code" to mean "code which strictly follows
the GNU guidelines".  LilyPond code has not done this for years
(just look at the 1-meg-plus diff you get from running
emacs-indentation on our source tree).  If you interpret "GNU
code" to be "code from a GNU project", then ok, we have GNU code.
But then apparently GNU code is not necessarily formatted in the
GNU style.

Could we drop vague terms like "GNU formatting" (since it's not
really defined), "GNU code", and the like?  The bottom line is:
- lilypond contains C++ code.
- we want to insist that this C++ follows any particular style
- we want to have an automatic way of producing this style
- which tool(s) shall we use to do this?

Cheers,
- Graham
