IMHO the most important constructs are the special characters that need to
be escaped like %, # etc. If you want to be more accurate you could call
tex2lyx from lyx2lyx to do the actual conversion. I guess that this would
be very easy: Simply call tex2lyx in "include file mode" (e.g. giving the
text class on the command line), and convert the result with lyx2lyx to the
needed format.
BTW, is this patch in? If yes then my answer to Uwe in the Hyperlink thread
is partly wrong.
