We should ask them if they are happy to licence it appropriately. You
never know.

http://www.1001freefonts.com/winfonts/firestarter.zip <-- this is pretty
similar, and has a contact address we could try to get licenced
appropriately as well.

I believe they have said we can consider it not a song.

Yup, (after my last email) I fixed it by commenting out Svg.py:240. It
seems it's not using amanith when the pngs are there, but still trying
to initialise it and failing. Commenting the initialisation works
because it's never actually called.

I also had to install python-pyogg; I'm not 100% sure why, but it seems
sensible thing to depend on anyway (even when it does work without, it's
heavier on the memory usage, according to the docs).
