"Please ensure you have read and understood the Xcode license terms 
before continuing."

Anything that says "Download XCode, dissect like so, copy this one piece 
to your Linux system somewhere..." is likely a violation of Apple's 
XCode Software License Agreement.

UNLESS the Linux is running in a Virtual Machine on Apple hardware.

Which MacStadium apparently can provide, with Mac Mini rental computers. 
(aka "in the cloud.")

If this effort was completed, it sounds to me like non-Mac builds could 
continue as normal. Then MacStadium gets used to produce the Mac builds. 
Automation would be possible, with Travis or Cirrus. (About which I know 
nothing but the names.)

My question here is, will this arrangement be satisfactory for the 
people running the LilyPond build system? Phil Holmes? Anyone?

If not satisfactory, what would you like to see instead?
