This gives good results, however,
the page-turn page breaking algorithm adds blank pages at some
places,
for instance, just before the last page of a bookpart, which gives an
awkward result:
_4_ _5_ _6_ _7_ _8_
|===||===| |===|| | |===| (then the beginning of the next part
on
|===||===| |===|| | |===| the following odd page)
|===||===| |===|| | |===|

This is awkward not just because of bookparts, right? If these four
pages were the whole book, you would also want to avoid the blank
page.
Can you check that the blank page is there if this is the whole book
(it
should be, because the page breaker shouldn't see anything different)?
Indeed. Here is an example demonstrating this behavior:
<http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/tmp/test-page-turn.ly>
<http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/tmp/test-page-turn.pdf>
Two consecutive odd pages are left blanck.
Do you really need both chunks? I would expect the second chunk to be
enough since it disables all inserting of blank pages.
[patch]
The two chunks were needed, with the second one only the algorithm
seemed to confuse odd and even pages, and sometimes would place nice
page turns between even and odd pages, and not so nice ones between
odd and even pages (unless I messed up my tests of course.) Anyway
the results seemed different.
