lilypond-book is using latex to find out the textwidth of the 
resulting document. In scripts/out/lilypond-book line 1633-:

def get_latex_textwidth (source):
...
    ly.system ('%s %s' % (global_options.latex_program, tmpfile),
               be_verbose=global_options.verbose)
...
    return textwidth

Where ly.system is defined in scm/backend-library.scm.

One could argue that finding a single "textwidth" is not the correct 
way to do it, because some pages might be landscape, some portrait, 
some single column, some double column...
