FWIW, after installing Ubuntu 13.10 and seeing my ../configure choke on 
the mpost version, I followede Werner Lemberg's suggestion from here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel/55828/match=mpost+broken
and all seems to be well. At least, I was able to make and install 
lilypond, then make and install the docs with no apparent errors, and 
that resulted in no obviously broken glyphs or flags in a quick test 
compile.  Since the fix involves a quick download and replace, I'm 
wondering if it's *too* easy, but so far so good!

Cheers, (and thanks to Werner!)
