Ok, thanks. That works fine.

Ok, now what about running? I've made a *new* binary for .75 that
uses kpathsea:
http://appel.dyndns.org/lilypond/gnu-windows/tar/lilypond-1.3.75-i686-cygwin.bin.tar.gz
but would/does this work? Shouldn't kpathsea be told where its search
tree starts (How?)

Jeff hasn't got the time to keep up with development all the time, he
makes/made stable releases, including some fancy setup stuff, I believe.
The reason I started doing the cross-builds, is to provide some
continuity. People don't tend to stick with windows, or can't
compile/can't keep up with development.
If you decide to distribute binaries, just send announcment and urls
to gnu-music-discuss. That would be relief me from the task, but
you'll have to see whether its convenient for you to do so.

Thanks, I've put this one in.
Greetings,
