This doesn't compile; see the attached log. I don't think you completely
removed runCommand.
Sorry, I was not explicit here. All previous patchess need to be applied
for 05 (02, 03a/b/c, 04a/b/c/d).
Ok, sorry for being dense. After applying all patches everything
compiles and works on both Cygwin and Windows.

I believe this option made sense when LyX on Cygwin required the
installation of an X-server. Some did not want to do this and preferred to
install the native Windows version, while continuing to use the Cygwin TeX.
However, nowadays, in addition to the X11 version of LyX installable via the
official Cygwin repositories, we also distribute a version that does not
require an X-server. Therefore, I do not believe anyone is still using that
combination.
We should probaly get rid of the whole probe machinery later once this patchset
lands? One less compsec consumer. I can prepare patch for testing if you'd like.
Sure, no problem.
