If a program behaving like another program is not the strangest thing
you have seen, well, for me it is.
Both musicxml2ly and lilypond-book are in fact the same program, a
python wrapper, which looks at `basename $0' to decide who is himself. I
still can not imagine which advantage could this provide against
different programs really being different programs, but the reality is
that the practice could potentially lead to a program believing he is
something else, which does not look good.
Here my wisdom comes to an end, and I still --still-- can not figure out
why my compiled version called as lilypond-book makes `basename $0' give
musicxml2ly as result. Crazy!
