Instead of on-the-fly spellchecking, did anybody think about

I thought about it:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker
This tool works fairly well under Linux. It "should" also work under
windows if Cygwin is installed, but it appears not to. It "should"
work on MacOS X if Perl is installed, but I haven't tried that
recently..
I've thought of getting this tool into LyX. However, this would
involve rewriting it into C++. For me it is actually more convenient
as an external Perl script, because that way I can maintain it would
out having to recompile LyX, or even restart LyX.
Yes but by converting it to C++, you could have some help maintaining it ;-)
Another option is to convert it to python as it is deeply required in
LyX. This was, you could still maintain it easily and it can be
integrated with LyX.
