If the user already has midi configured, installing Timidity wouldn't
mess that up, right?  But at the very least, wouldn't prboom start using
Timidity instead of the user-configured midi?  However...

Maybe it's just me, but since I've never seen hardware midi working out
of the box, I'm thinking that maybe it's just far easier to make
Timidity or some kind of midi emulator and sound bank be a dependency of
any program which requires midi.  Not only does it seem like out-of-the-
box hardware midi device support is a pretty long way away from being a
reality, but midi emulation doesn't take much CPU power.  I have an old
processor, and prboom runs wonderfully with Timidity installed (aside
from a few bugs here and there that the game has).
