Oh, right, this is a lot less tightly controlled than I thought.

Yes let's go with that, and change the master branch now to be version
0.8.1

I've built for windows now. One of the scripts (the tied note of
arbitrary duration) fails to load killing denemo, but a lot seems to be
working. I'm uploading it now as a snapshot to 
http://www.rshann.plus.com/denemo.html
If a few windows users can try it I would be grateful - it does now
write to the registry, setting the environment variable LOAD_GUILE_PATH
for finding the guile scripts that it needs (I had to hunt through the
source code to find out about this, in fact I spent a day wading through
rivers of blood to get guile into denemo on windows).

I think this is grounds for delaying an official release. What does
g-wrap do to get its dependency working (ie what does its configure.am
look like)? It is not at all nice to require packages we don't use.
