Unfortunately I have to give reason to Andre too. I thought to work a bit
at Home on LyX in June, but now I'm copletely cut of my 450 PIII is not anymore
enough to compile LyX #:O(
We end up working on 1.2.x and leave 1.3.0 there were it is until we
are able to work on it again. You tried the new stuff and that is more
than ok, you got our responses which say, well it works, but at what costs!
You will answer that it will decrease your interest if we take back and
we will say that's a pitty, but if you leave it as is (and don't tell us
we should help you, you know we cannot, we can just comment on the stuff
in there) you will loose us for the time being. Maybe we will have the
money to buy us some larger PC's in future but I won't count on it.
Why not just retreat a step where we can again compile without rtti and
exceptions (that means remove boost::signal and boost::regexp) which then
permits us again to compile with lyxstring (which gives a really big boost
to compile&link time) and go on with the important stuff.
We can move all this changes up into a branch and there we can play with
it and it is not lost to us.

If this is a service economy, why is the service so bad?
