So... share/lyx/tex is really sort of a hack?
But... if the files in this catalog is supposed to be put with the latex
installation, why is it created during installation?
I say use it or loose it...
If it's used, the dvipost-package and other contributed packages could
go there (maybe the directory should be renamed into contrib/?)
Btw, I did assme that when using latex from lyx, then share/lyx/tex
would be found by latex...
