The source file for configobj.py has copyright information, a description of
the license, and a link to the full license.  Is that enough?

I've pushed a wscript containing the code to

(a) parse VERSION to obtain VERSION (and I obtained PACKAGE_NAME from
VERSION as well)

(b) do what you suggested to get LILYPOND_BINARY

I've tested each bit of the python code, but I haven't tested the whole
thing, because I don't have multiple setups with different lilypond
configurations to test them.

Anyway, I hope this helps.
