IMHO, seems fine (modulo whitespace).

1) For maximum flexibility, I would not remove $$a even if it's not needed
for DVI-I-S. I won't apply that part of the patch for now, ok?.

This is your pet, so I will apply this.

2) You are not talking to me ;-). Should I put the manual page in the same
dir development/lyxsocket?

3) From lyxsocket.C: "* FIXME: this code apparently will not work on

I really don't know. I think the experts in this area are Angus and JMarc
(and Jose has been working in output formats lately). Let's wait a bit for
their wonderful ideas.
