I am not sure, I understand. This patch effectively converts
1.) provided lyx-files (test references) to new file format, this
should not be controversial
2.) generated lyx-files (with tex2lyx). This should not be needed
so only the second point is unclear.

In cmake:
pushd <buildtree>
make test
popd
