One thing to note: it's only "supernova" that makes use of oscpack,
and supernova is optional since it's a drop-in replacement for
"scsynth".
So, one cop-out alternative available to us (if oscpack isn't getting
fixed) is that on some platforms we could disable building it
(-DSUPERNOVA=0) and disable packaging it.
