If there were a way to have a customized lilypond version of cygwin's

I think the installation could be better. And if we could get it so that
jedit with lilypond mode showed up not as an all purpose editor, but as
a user interface for lilypond that could coincidentally do text editing,
then I think it would be even closer to a Windows app. Now, if we could just avoid all of the problems with making sure TeX is set up right...
The only problems related to TeX setup I have seen during the last years are:
- That setup.exe doesn't always get the dependencies right, so the
tetex-* packages are not installed. => Cygwin problem!
- A few people who already have some other TeX installation on their
systems and have set some environment variables that conflict with
teTeX. => Hard to avoid, but this affects only a very small number of
users so it may confuse more people than it helps if we add some hint
in the documentation.
Do you have any other TeX related problems in mind?
If you had tried to install LilyPond in the old days when we used MikTeX instead of teTeX, you would realize that the current problems are almost non-existing. ;-)
