mac osx terminal instructions

[James Bailey]

Currently, the instructions on getting LilyPond up and running in a  
terminal on mac osx have the user create a script which calls the  
lilypond application, and then add the location of the script to the  
$PATH. Is there any advantage of this over just having the user add  
the location of the lilypond binary to the $PATH? Most users are just  
going to over-write the old application when they update, so the path  
to the binaries will stay the same, and it also has the advantage of  
automatically adding midi2ly, xml2ly, and convert-ly to the $PATH as  
well as lilypond? Is there some added benefit of using the exec  
command? I stopped doing it that way a long time ago and haven't had  
any problems. I think it would also make the steps to getting  
lilypond working on the terminal in OSX a lot easier, since all you  
have to do is add lilypond to your $PATH, which is basically the last  
step of the current method.
