I was slightly mistaken. The sys.path insert is there just to find
the python modules, and the insert is a preventive measure to be
sure we load the right ones.
The problem is that the lilypond-book script is run during the compile,
triggering .py recompiles of the wrong files.
This should be fixed in current GIT.
