Issue 568: converting ps to pdf looses output path dirname, plus patch 
to fix
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=568

New issue report by wbsoft:
When doing something like:

$ lilypond --pdf -o /tmp/fss - < ~/ly/free-software-song.ly

LilyPond correctly writes to '/tmp/fss.ps' but then converts to 'fss.pdf'
with the dirname removed, so Lilypond tries to write in the current
directory. This is inconsistent with the midi behaviour: all files are
created in the path given in the output option.

Also in the ps-to-png conversion the dirnames of the requested output
path are lost.

This little patch fixes both, so Lilypond can be used with absolute path
arguments and will not try to write to the current directory.
