ly2dvi --Fix for bash shell problem with latex and /dev/stderr |

I'm using GNU LilyPond 1.8.0 on CygWin 1.5.2 with GNU bash, version
2.05b.0(12)-release (i686-pc-cygwin).
In a bash shell, ly2dvi fails with the following error:
cannot create /dev/stderr: directory nonexistent
I resolved this by modifying ly2dvi as follows:
# DTH remove: cmd += ' 1>/dev/stderr'
cmd += ' 1>&2' # DTH replace
The issue is that BASH doesn't actually have a /dev/stderr, at least not
under CYGWIN.
Note that the changed line should work under Bourne, bash, ash, and Korn
shells. Don't know about cshell.
