Ok, so we've gone full circle.  I added an issue to the tracker to
remind myself to tackle it; we discussed it a bit, and now it
remains as an issue for me to tackle.  Granted, I now know that I
should dump awkward fixes into postprocess.py rather than the
makefile.

I believe that I already apologized for this, and said that I
would add it to the CG.

Ok, that makes sense.

Ok, I'll spend the hour this weekend or next.

Interesting.  When I look at index.nl.html on my system, it's
fine.  "LilyPond... muzieknotatie voor iedereen" but on
lilypond.org, it's all broken.  Hmm... I wonder if GUB is using
texi2html 1.82?  I guess I'll check this tomorrow; there has to be
_some_ difference between my netbook and desktop that breaks this.
