Please review.

No complaints?  I'll go ahead and push it in 24 hours if nobody objects or asks
for more time.
(you don't need to have any specific objections; if you're busy and can't review
it for the next few days, but want to review it, just let me know and I'll wait)

I've not tried following it, but it looks clear enough to me.

LGTM, apart a nitpick: I prefer to create build directory outside git tree, i.e.
if foo/lily is my git repo, I build in foo/build, to avoid build/ appear to git
as an untracked file.

Check .gitignore.  :)

I personally have also been doing a truly "out-of-tree" build
until recently, but I became concerned that unix newbies might not
like having a ~/lilypond-build/ in addition to ~/lilypond-git/.
I decided that putting build/ inside the source tree -- which is
actually the default in waf and cmake, for example -- was easier
to explain and understand for new contributors.

Cheers,
