Weird.  Dependencies seem to be failing utterly.  But how?  Han-Wen,
any great ideas?

You did what is recommended.  bin/gub however tells you exactly what
it is going to do in its 'must rebuild' line, eg

    $ LIBRESTRICT=open:stat nice bin/gub --keep mingw::lilypond
    calculating dependencies
    must rebuild[mingw]: glib pango pthreads-w32 python urw-fonts lilypad 
tools::icoutils linux-x86::cross/binutils linux-x86::cross/gcc-core 
linux-x86::glibc-core linux-x86::cross/gcc linux-x86::glibc tools::scons 
tools::nsis lilypond
    [..]

the target that librestrict gets is [PLATFORM::]lilypond, which is
exactly what lilypond.make will do.

If you need, you can look-up the dependencies in gub/specs/lilypond.py:
_get_build_dependencies (), and see what's installed already by doing

   bin/gpkg -p mingw list

Hmm, come to think of it, you had *another* problem with dependencies,
the librestrict-open thing...

How hard is it for you to install another python and try that?  
Does fedora carry python2.4 or python2.6 (or even python3) packages
that you can install alongside your 2.5.1, for example.
