lilypond install bug report

I just installed lilypond in a fresh cygwin installation under Windows 
XP.  

I used the 2.249.2.5 setup.exe

The test on http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/windows/out-
www/installing.html failed :

$ ly2dvi -p test
Running LilyPond...
GNU LilyPond 1.6.0
Now processing: `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[1]
Preprocessing elements...
Calculating column positions... [2]
paper output to `test.tex'...

Analyzing test.tex...

Running dvips...
Running ps2pdf...
ps2pdf: not found
error: ps2pdf: command exited with value 32512
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 1041, in ?

  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 780, in run_dvips
    quiet_system (cmd, 'ps2pdf')
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 463, in quiet_system
    return system (cmd, ignore_error, quiet = 1)
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 248, in system
    error (msg)
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 144, in error
    raise _ ("Exiting ... ")
Exiting ...
DVI output to `test.dvi'...


The problem is a missing dependency in the setup configuration.  
The ly2dvi script wants to call ps2pdf, included in the ghostview 
package.  The installation web page (same url as the test above) 
lists package dependencies for TeTeX and LilyPond, but does not 
include ghostview in either list.  

After installing ghostview, everything is working.
