I've had some lilypond hacking time recently, so I've been digging into the 
spacing code. The stuff I'm trying to do is nowhere near complete and I don't 
yet understand the code fully, but I've put what I have so far in 
the "jneeman" branch of the git repository. If anyone is sufficiently 
motivated and technically able to build lilypond from git, I'd appreciate 
some feedback on the spacing changes.

I'll attach a PNG of the new output on an example that was provided by Kieren 
elsewhere in this thread.
