Hi, Ekkehart. Perhaps you could add this to the wiki?
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/WindowsSetup
With an explanatory paragraph about who will find it useful.

I think that the long term solution is to retire all the shell scripts that
are used when running LyX and replace them with python ones. (We require
python anyway for lyx2lyx.) The list isn't very long. In LyX 1.3.x, I see
these files in addition to lib/configure:

lib/scripts/TeXFiles.sh
lib/scripts/convertDefault.sh

If there are any python gurus out there willing to step up to the plate,
that would be great!
