Sigh.  I am not in for the whole rigmarole of checking a whole bunch of  
not-so-recent fixes for things worth cherry-picking.

Phil, you want to cherry-pick that single fix and crank out 2.16.2 with  
it?  I don't think we have another platform-downing kind of bug recently  
fixed, so it seems like a reasonable step forward.  The release  
announcement could mention that this concerns just Lilypond-book operation  
on a limited number of platforms so that unaffected people would not feel  
like they need an urgent upgrade.

Alternatively, someone can volunteer for the full "collect all  
non-behavior-changing fixes" tournee for 2.16.2, but I guess that the fast  
course is simpler and safer.
