Updated: lilypond-1.6.8-2 for Cygwin

The 1.6.8-1 release from yesterday had an almost empty lilypond-doc package. That's fixed with this release. Yesterday's bulky release info: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2003-02/msg00034.html still applies, if you read -2 for -1 in the obvious places. Greetings, Jan. *** CYGW
