Okey dokey.

Well, it looks like we'll be using swami for the tools anyway.

Rather than having a program with an interface that appears to be
files and directories, we were thinking of actually using files and
directories. The top-level source file would point to the other
files, and would be compiled into a soundfont. This gives us lots of
freedom in how we use it.
