The paper is quite outdated, it doesn't fit very well with the actual 
code of 0.1. Here xeq is split in several objects: xeq, xeq_data, 
xeq_follow, xeq_host, xeq_parse, xeq_polyparse, xeq_polytempo, 
xeq_query, xeq_record, xeq_time.
The function of some objects is clear, but others are not. Code-wise 
they are very connected, so using them in isolation is not an option 
(see it as a single, multi-headed beast). Therefore the current package 
builds it like a library object.

It will be very interesting to see this, at least to learn more about 
sequencers. With good alternatives available, it makes reviving xeq a 
bit more optional.
