Thanks for your enthusiasm, but please take a look at the existing (and 
latest 2.9) docs:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Notes-for-the-MacOS-X-app.html

Although the current manual only lists how to do it in bash, that's been 
the default in OSX since 10.3.  If somebody knows how to change their 
shell, then they can figure out how to set their own path.  :)   So I 
don't think it's worth adding this; it would only confuse unix newbies.
