Wait a second, why would we need those at all? If the codebases are completely 
separate, one shouldn't depend on the other. And the build already knows the 
source dir, so we don't need any pointer in an env variable.

Or am I misunderstanding something here? What exactly depends on the source 
being in ~/lilypond-git?

Cheers,
Reinhold
