I already have a .lyx account but it is hosted by Google mail (this was
the case as JMarc created an account for me, maybe this has been changed
in the meantime).
The Google mail policies are not acceptable for me because I have to
allow Google to scan all my email, use all email contents and store them
where the want and how long they want to provide me custom spam, sorry
advertisements.
But OK, I can use this account only for LyX as these mails are public
anyway.

That sometimes also failed - some posts were missing - but I'll give it
now a new try.
btw. I will now also switch from SCons to CMake. It is good that all
developers use the same basics.
thanks and regards
