Done in Git master.  There is only one thing that I don't like in this
new setup: we must specify lilypond/ subdir for each info image, which
requires some trickery at three levels (makefile, lilypond-book and
Texinfo macros).  We should certainly send patches and/or feature
requests to Emacs and Texinfo hackers, asking for example that Emacs
Info browser reads a variable "ImagesSearchPath" in Info file to look
for images.  BTW something similar is already described almost at top of
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/texinfo/texinfo/TODO?revision=HEAD

Please complain about building problems, and please test the new Info
docs installation setup if you can, as I changed makefiles
significantly.

Best,
