Sorry for the little delay!

As long as I can test, I think it's fixed in master.  I've also cleaned
up topdocs makefiles, there seemed to be broken and no longer used
stuff.

I had done this because undefining .nexi rules in user/GNUmakefile no
longer worked after a bunch of hacking, and IMHO undefining rules in
each directory's GNUmakefile was not a good solution either.  To fix
this in a cleaner way, I scraped .nexi intermediate files and use
instead a makefile variable LILYPOND_BOOK_PROCESS, which still depends
on $(out), but I think this is reasonable (I removed "ifeq($(out),)"
blocks for defining rules).
