The idea is that the .app is self contained and not dependent on any
preexisting Python installation. Apparently this only works if one
does _not_ take the 'system supplied' Python installation.

So here is my second attempt. Download at

www.klarinett.li/LilyPond.zip

As before, the LilyPond binaries are not included so run with:

$ LILYPOND_DEBUG_APPDIR=/path/to/LilyPond.app open LilyPond.app

I have already tested on 10.5/i386 and 10.5/ppc. As I have no access to
any 10.4/10.3 machines I would be glad over feedback from users using
those system versions.

Known issue: the hardcoded Python binary path in convert-ly [1] leads
to a mix of Python versions. As a result the convert-ly function is not
working in this version.
