I really like JMarc's idea, and agree with Günter that it should not
replace the current set up. We could also allow for this inset to
place preamble code *before* (some of) LyX's automatic preamble
export. Many issues in the past have come from user's not being able
to get something into the preamble soon enough, such as the order in
which packages are loaded.
