Well, actually, it's already in the LyX logic to self-detect what programs
are installed in the system (including elyxer), and, whenever appropriate,
adding additional logic to understand exactly what version is installed and
how to make optimum use of it. In particular, I hope the difference I'm 
talking
about the elyxer version can be *all encoded within configure.py*. So, that
would be all logic *outside of LyX*, but internal to its self-configuration
capability as scripted within the accompanying Python scripts.
