The development version has better support for titling: you can define
a head title that fits on a whole page, then force a pagebreak before
the first piece's own title.

I don't know if 2.5 is available on cygwin, though.

Here is a naive example:

\version "2.5.9"

\paper {
  myBookTitleMarkup = \markup \column {
    \fill-line { \column { " " " " " " " " " "
                           \fill-line { \large \fromproperty #'header:composer }
                           " " " " " " } }
    \fill-line { \column { " " " " " "
                           \fill-line { \huge \bold \fromproperty 
#'header:title }
                           " " " "
                           \fill-line { \huge \fromproperty #'header:subtitle }
                           " " } }
  }
  #(define-public book-title (marked-up-title 'myBookTitleMarkup))
}

\header {
  title = "The Book Title"
  subtitle = "and its subtitle"
  composer = "Composer"
}

\score {
  \header {
    piece = "First piece"
    breakbefore = ##t
  }
  { c' d' e' f' }
  \layout { }
}
