LilyPond installs everything into @prefix@/lilypond/.  We add
symlinks to @prefix@/bin/lilypond and the like, so most people
don't notice.  My best guess is that this makes it easier to deal
with the osx app format and/or mingw progra~1 ?  but that's a
complete guess.  In keeping with that, I suppose that we could
make the --doc add such a symlink.

Anybody interested in poking at the installation scripts is of
course welcome to do so, but it won't be pretty.

Cheers,
