lilypond-book *generally* doesn't rewrite an output file if the old
output file is up to date, which gave me headaches in LilyPond
documentation makefiles hacking until I discovered this. I said
"generally" because I made lilypond-book touch Texinfo output files even
if they needn't be rewritten, to ease makefiles proper operation. I
guess it would help a lot if lilypond-book touched output files in all
formats.

I recently hacked lilypond-book for LilyPond documentation compilation,
I welcome precise feature requests for lilypond-book, although I will
only have some time in April, and a bunch of time in summer to tackle
them.
