Uhuh... how do you run grep then?  If you know about

   grep ... $(git ls-files)

you do not have to know about files/directories [much easier
than the old grep $(find . -type f | grep -Ev 'out/|out-www')]?

You know, there's a tool for that, try

    grep gloss $(git ls-files python scripts)
    grep Documentation/ $(git ls-files python scripts)

btw, this has little or nothing to do with the stepmake build
system.  there is no good reason for hardcoding these things.

You cannot do that!?
Also, is there ever any time that DEVEL_VERSION != VERSION?
I suppose that we need STABLE_VERSION for producing the
web site -- both the old lily-web and GUB scripts have/share
code for deriving those from lilypond.org.
