Why is called 0.0.0-0? Is this auto generated. Is this name created by  
autotools.

We had this problem once before with the font not being installed on  
windows. Does anyone know what caused it and how the issue was resolved?

Image viewer is used for viewing excerpts.

Text editor is not used. I will remove it. It was originally placed  
there with the intention of exporting lilypond, csounds or other to  
text editor.

Midi player is needed if someone created a minimalistic denemo and  
then wanted to hear the final output. Arguably you could say that if  
we take this out we could also take out exportmidi for a minimalistic  
build.

Audio player was meant to playback audio files rendered by csounds. It  
could probably go. It was used for things that could not be performed  
in real time.

I doubt anyone is calling the audio player from denemo so I guess we  
can remove that.

I am interested in it but have not have time to execute to work on it.  
I was considering removing the field and exportcsound and csound  
playback support then rewrite it in scheme.
