If I run simply "lilypond", (car (command-line)) also just yields
'lilypond'. (while lilypond resides in /usr/local/bin on my system)

You could read PATH of course and decude where lilypond is found.

But you could always ask LilyPond for its datadir, it always returns
the absolute path to the ly, svg, ps, scm etc files.

#(display (ly:get-option 'datadir))
