dist failures

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Hello Graham,

I've just tried to package lilypond for release, and I am encountering 
several 'make dist' errors.  I would appreciate it if you would verify 
that "make dist" still works every once in a while.

Secondly,   "make dist" now barfs with 

/usr/bin/python ../../scripts/lilypond-book.py -I ./ -I ./out -I ../../input -I 
../../input/regression/ -I  [..]
/home/lilydev/vc/lilypond/input/manual -dcheck-internal-types -ddump-signatures 
-danti-alias-factor=2" --verbose NEWS.tely
lilypond-book.py (GNU LilyPond) @TOPLEVEL_VERSION@
Reading NEWS.tely...
Dissecting...
lilypond-book.py: error: file not found: makam.ly


I think I've remarked it before, but I forgot the reasoning.  Can you explain
me another time why don't label test files like


\header {
  snippetLabels = "new/pitch,microtonal,ethnic" 
}
  
?

With this approach 

 - files/directories don't have to be renamed all the time

 - a snippet can have multiple labels

 - we can do away with all the separate GNUmakefiles.

I think this would simplify administration of all the files.
