At least the one I get on Windows XP doesn't support UTF-8. How do I
check which version is used?

Without having the faintest idea of what I'm really doing, I guess that 
something
like the following might work:

At second thought, I'm certain that it doesn't work out of the box, since
the Python that's included in the package currently it broken so that none
of the Python scripts work.

Actually, as long as the Python build is broken, it would be much better to
exclude Python completely from the package and just add an instruction 
on the
Downloads page on how to download and install Python from www.python.org.
As long as it's included in the LilyPond package, you have to manually 
make sure
that the working version of Python comes before LilyPond's broken one in 
the
PATH variable as soon as you update LilyPond. If we leave it out from 
the LilyPond
package, it's sufficient to install Python once and for all.
