Oh, the $(if ) method can perfectly handle variables which are a book.
It is just LilyPond that does not accept a book identifier at top
level. So you have to write something like
\book { $(if includeGuitar GuitarBook) }
and rely on an empty book not having an effect.
Yes, this is a bit awkward. If you are fine with downloading,
compiling, and installing _source_ to a degree that you do it without
asking twice just because of some outdated information, tracking the
development version (including testing out patches as they come) will
not likely be a big step for you.
And anyway: it is likely that you have now LilyPond 2.15.9 plastered all
over /usr/local already, and you might as well plaster the current
development version over it instead of trying to remove all that so that
it does not shadow "standard" precompiled versions.
