Just for the benefit of other Win users, adding the converter didn't work, 
either (although it at least moved to a new bug).  With the convert, I got 
the following error message:

C:/LyX/tmp/lyx_tmpdir3692a03312/lyxconvert0.sh: No such file or directory

(followed by something about LyX waiting for a child process to close).  
The named directory is there, but empty (other than an empty folder named 
lyx_tmpbuf1).  I gather that LyX, or some script, tried to write a shell 
script there, but apparently it never made it.  Don't know if this is a 
problem with Ruurd's port of LyX itself or with an external script.

So, for now, it's View | DVI or View | PDF to see what the pretty pictures 
look like.
