This is an academic discussion at this time of the development, and I
still need to complete a work to given to my students tomorrow. :-)

I suspect that the issue is to have lyx2lyx to talk with tex2lyx and
not necessarily to the lyx binary.

To complicate matters further, the issue is to determine what is the
right context to pass, just the ERT or more, and if this should at sup-
paragraph or at paragraph level.
