... yes?  no?
Bottom line: somebody added explicit dependencies to
lily/GNUmakefile, for some reason.  It could have been somebody
not really understanding the build system, but at least it worked.

I wouldn't be surprised if Julien sent in a patch in a few
hours/days that removed the explicit dependencies for the parser
in favor of a more general solution.  :)

No problem; I'm quite happy that Patchy is pulling his weight so
soon.  :)
