You're opening my eyes here. You suggest that windows people will/may probably just ignore the directory layout of my tarballs/zips, collapse the tree into one directory, move that to a non-default location, and wonder why it doesn't work? Sigh. I wish we could just drop this windows stuff... The ignorant user could upgrade by typing `apt-get install lilypond1.3'. > more than bad karma from changing anything!

Probably maybe. You want to make sure afterwards that you don't have tar adding the c:/cygwin prefix, resulting in c:/cygwin/cygwin/. Or, just do a ln -sf / /cygwin in bash first. > (Some old DOS programs can't handle a root directory with more > than 127 entries. That's why I always bundle things up a level when > I can.) But LilyPond is important enough for a Top level entry, right ;-) Greetings, Jan. Btw, I've put the new guile-1.3.4 is up; it should be all the same with thet let-* file renamed.
