You need a TeX distribution anyway to create PDF from lytex files.  And
if you are not creating print copy there is no point in figuring out a
line width as it would deliver a result without any meaning (except if
for some reason you want notes in HTML use the same line breaks as in
print).  So if lilypond-book fails when creating HTML documentation
without a TeX distribution, this is a deficiency not just in Windows.
It does not make sense on GNU/Linux either.
