I suppose the use of LITERATE will be superseded by the new, open,
layout/module-settable OutputFormat parameter.

Do you plan to obsolete OutputType completely or should it remain to
signify LATEX vs. DOCBOOK based output, so that we have e.g.

OutputType  OutputFormat  

LATEX       noweb         Literate programming with noweb: write a LaTeX
                          file with specials that are converted to "true"
                          LaTeX with the noweb->latex converter.

LATEX       lilybook      Musiktheorie with lilybook: write a LaTeX
                          file with lilypond specials that are converted
                          to "true" LaTeX with the lilybook->latex
                          converter.
                          
DOCBOOK     foobar        write a docbook file with foobar specials that
                          are converted to docbook with the
                          foobar->docbook converter
