Here's the final (for now) list of Mechanical Music Sources.  Thanks to
all of you who supplied comments and additions (particularly Dan
Wilson, Fritz Gellerman, Mathew Caulfied and Robbie Rhodes).

As you can see, it has grown quite a bit.  I've tried to include most of
the comments sent my way.

This listing contains vendors who create/sell music for mechanical
musical instruments.  While it covers a lot, it doesn't cover
everything.  For example, it doesn't include folks who work on
machines.  Also, the listing of MIDI vendors is not comprehensive, but
intended (eventually) to be a listing of some of the companies most
often used by our readers.  Any other big names anyone wants to add?

Again, thanks for all of the input.
