Good point!  Does anybody feel like checking into this?

I still think it's best to just explain which directories need to
be in the PATH rather than modifying it ourselves, but we'll need
to know this information when it comes time to write that
documentation.

and Mike added:

I think that all you need is:

PATH_TO_LILYPOND\usr\bin

In most set-ups this'd be:

C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin

If we agree that the best option is to stop the lilypond install attempting  
to edit the path statement at all, and that we then add a bit to usage and  
learning to tell people how to modify their path if they want, then I can  
make those changes.  The manuals is no problem.  I think for the NSIS stuff  
I can make the changes but would need to supply a patch to be added to GUB.
