We used to have such a scheme, but it has some problems:
* You need to be root (This is no problem on your own GNU box) for
this to work, and
* Detecting where to put the symlink is a complete pain in the arse.
* I don't think it is good policy to muddle with the directory
structure of a different package (in this case, tetex).
The current situation is not perfect, but it makes installing Lilypond
a no-brainer.
Are there any TeX gurus with good ideas on this ?
