Bernd,


please create a ChangeLog file in groff/contrib/lilypond and add all
further commit messages to that file.  This is true for all stuff in
the `contrib' directory, BTW.

I think that (most of?) this stuff is not needed.  Reasons:

  . That grops can't handle binary files (this is, stuff correctly
    enclosed with %%BeginData ... %%EndData) is a bug which I've just
    fixed!  Note that this typo has been present since ever.

  . If you say

      lilypond --ps -dbackend=eps ...

    you get clean EPS files with one file per page.

In other words, using .PSPIC with lilypond EPS files works out of the
box.

Please try.
