The lilypad delivered with 2.17.16 is now updated to be the one in GitHub. 
I've got an updated version on my PC that supports the Find function 
better - the found string is highlighted and the window scrolls to the 
string that's been found.  I'll likely include this in the next release and 
mark http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=534 as fixed. 
Please open a new tracker for the other enhancement requests - I think it 
would be best to have one request per issue, since some are relatively 
simple and some not so.
