Re: -dlog-file switch fails

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please read the documentation of these flags that you
can obtain by
lilypond -dhelp

As far as I can understand, the idea is that if you use
lilypond -dlog-file foo.ly
(which is equivalent to lilypond -dlog-file=#t foo.ly )
then LilyPond should produce a file foo.log.
However, as you have noticed (even though you didn't
really use the flag correctly), no such file is produced,
so there seems to be a bug here.
