Please split this patch in 2 parts:

- the completion script should be part of (or preferably: generated
by/from) lilypond. It would be nice if all of the options were
generated, but this is fine as it is.

- I think adding the bash stuff to the gub installer is not worth the
effort. We try to interact as little as possible with the installed
operating system.  I see potential for breakage if some linux distro
decides to put the autocompletion scripts in a different directory.

Here is my proposal: make gub create a directory under the installer
root containing all of the support scripts (vim, emacs, bash, etc.)
and stick it in there.  After the install finishes, write a message
for the user, pointing them to the scripts.

It's up to the users to install the scripts appropriately then.
