    Copy spacing.js into the build directory.
    
    Otherwise spacing.html (built there by Mason) won't work properly.
    This didn't matter when I never did out-of-tree builds.

    Tiny spacing tweaks for the variable font.
    
    I've put a bit more space around the i, which I thought was too
    tightly packed; on the other hand, I've decreased the space after the
    f, which seemed too large. In the case of the sequence 'fi', the
    latter wins: the spacing is now closer than it was (and that
    automatically causes the ligatures to be narrower).
    
    Also, moved the p very slightly left within its existing space, and
    put less space to the right of the T, which I think looks better in
    general, but also, makes it less ugly that I don't have any kern pairs
    for 'Ta' and similar.

    Fix excessive interior space at top of monospace @.
    
    I just found my old to-do list where I'd listed tiny blemishes in this
    font. This was one of them.

    Set a global boolean 'monospace'.
    
    This allows individual glyph designs to query whether they're being
    generated for a monospaced or variable-width font, and tweak small
    details depending on it.
    
    (However, entirely different designs such as atwide/atnarrow are still
    best kept separate, I think; I have no plans to try to turn that into
    a piece of more complicated parametric code.)

    Tweak the monospace alpha to eliminate an ugly bulge.
    
    Especially in TechnicalityMonoBold, the two lines crossing on the
    right are quite wide and cross very steeply, leading to a large blob
    of ink. Increased the spline tension on the one sloping downwards, so
    that it crosses less steeply.
    
    But in variable width I think it looks better the original way, so
    this change is conditional on the new 'monospace' flag.

    Fix bulge on the left of the p.
    
    The stroke drawing the bowl was not constrained to the 'up' direction
    at the low end, and Metafont's spline system used that freedom to veer
    a little to the left of the vertical and back again, causing a
    protrusion.
