Actually, I wonder whether this is possible at all currently.  The
above is a very simplistic solution, completely ignoring kerning,
which should be retained.

It seems that we would need a Scheme interface to the
`pango_attr_letter_spacing_new' function, which isn't used yet within
LilyPond...

    solution :-)
