I never have done that. What's there now is left over from when Uwe was
responsible.

I'm trying to remember why LyX needs Perl on Windows. If it were
possible to avoid it, that would be worth doing.

Actually, just saw in the change log: "install a stripped-down version
of Perl to be able to use LyX's feature to have several indexes also
when LyX is installed without admin privileges". I guess this must be
because one of the indexing things uses Perl? Jürgen, do you know about
this?
