Hi,

Sometimes, a latex implementation different from 'latex' is
convenient.  I am locally customizing lilypond-book so that it calls
'platex' (a Japanese extended latex with vertical writing support).

+    ly.system ('platex %s' % tmpfile, be_verbose=global_options.verbose)
     parameter_string = open (logfile).read()

     os.unlink (tmpfile)



It would be nice to have a configuration option to customize this.
