Okay, that's what I suspected.

After a few quick searches on Google, it looks like many of the HTML
files in files.txt are part of the "db" package (the GUB spec is in
gub/specs/db.py), which is used to build LilyPond for Windows.

So maybe something needs to be fixed with the install stage of db?  I
will try to build tools::db and mingw::db to see if I can tell what's
happening.
