It should work, because the LilyPond scripts modify PYTHONPATH 
appropriately.

Or at least, it should work. I don't have a windows machine to test this 
out (and frankly: I'm glad I don't). We'd be very glad with someone who 
has the tenacity and know how to build LilyPond for and test on Windows32.

We cross-compile Python on a linux box, using the MinGW GCC compiler. 
All sorts of things tend to go wrong when creating when creating python 
modules from windows DLLs.
