Looked a bit more into it…. and found that there is an easier way than tweaking 
the papersize (which does generate a bunch of intermediate files alongside the 
PNG that you’re after…. but at least it gives you a cleanly trimmed png):

Just include 
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly”
at the top of your lilypond file. So e.g.

=====
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"

\relative c'' {
  c2 d='4 d
  e2 f
}
=======

It yields a png trimmed to exactly the music that was present in your file
