Here's another old issue.  Graham, I don't understand what you wrote
here, but if all we want is a relatively stable list of LANG options
in the Usage manual here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#environment-variables

...we could just point the user to the ROADMAP file, or even better
put a cross reference to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/contributor/repository-directory-structure

...or we could simply list them, and then add a new checklist item
for translators of new languages here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/contributor/getting-started-with-documentation-translation#starting-translation-in-a-new-language

...requiring them to add their LANG code to the ROADMAP and to the
LANG list in Usage.

A little old-fashioned perhaps, and not automated, but wouldn't that
be good enough?
