There are still potential problems with system-specific differences in max 
cmdline lengths (but I don't know if it's a real problem). I've been thinking 
about one other solution as well: IIRC you have said it would be fairly easy 
to create a lilypond daemon, which could process .ly files on demand with a 
short start-up time. If all .ly snippets of a make web are processed by a 
single instance of lilypondd, then we will get an even better memory leak 
check.
