clobbered system PATH

I'll make a GUB patch and post it here.

James added this to the discussion:

"If you look here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/usage/lilypond_002dbook

It links to Command Line Usage  which says if you use mac then you
need to go here

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/web/macos-x

and so we can make a similar entry in Usage and point them to

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/web/windows

! which is what we've had all along - we just never linked to it from
Usage like we do Mac OS X.

Voila!

I can do that.

Just let me know if that is the route we are going down now."

I also believe  
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/learning/command_002dline needs  
checking and updating.

I'd suggest telling users how to modify their PATH by using Control Panel;  
System; Advanced (XP - or "Advanced System Settings" for Vista - probably  
the same for W7, if someone can check); Environment Variables; System  
Variables; Edit PATH.  Then add ;C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin and OK.

I'd really appreciate it if you could pick this aspect up, James.
