While I agree that this is a good approach for the lilypond executable, run  
by thousands of people, I think it is an unnecessary complication for the  
build system.  We don't have to take care of regressions in case everything  
is building fine; it automatically means that there is *no* regression...

Essentially, if a build change passes the build tests, then it's just fine  
IMHO.  We do preach to everyone not to build from the source, don't we?

If I had to select one of your minimum patches, I would select the one  
which ignores stderr.

BTW, I'm still waiting for opinions from other developers :-)
