And only care about the *.lst files in ~/.lyx you mean? Well, in the
worst case we'll have to patch around it. IMHO, they should get rid of
this configure stuff and simply do it at runtime. If something's
missing LyX can just pop up a dialog box "You need to install X to do
Y" and that should be it.
