Well it seems that it's prematurate to merge the tex2lyx bundle tree
with the standard 1.3.6 LyX tree.

Maybe the make_tex2lyx_dist.sh could reflect this by bundling in LyX-1.4
instead of LyX ? Decompression in Program Files would be straightforward and 
flawless.
Respecting a parallel standard install of LyX and LyX-1.4 would also allow 
reference
to Lyx-1.4 by LyX (kind of Sarge/Etch distribution :-)
