He's talking about the lilypad editor, which we distribute with
our OSX builds.  Similar to the lilypad editor (same name,
completely different code base) that we distribute with our
mingw builds.

I don't fault him for confusing lilypond/lilypad, since they're
part of our official binaries.  And the app name is even
"LilyPond.app"... it's actually extremely for newbies to figure
out that lilypad is *not* lilypond.  I think they'd have to either
read the source, or trawl through several years' worth of email
list archives.

Yes, I could fix this, but I don't consider it even a
Medium-priority issue, so I'm not likely to get around to it for a
year or so.  Patches will be thoughtfully considered.
