I found all this to be useful from time to time.

Could you make it available with few comments about build/install?
This could go either to our wiki (with deps and packages into wiki-uploads.git)
or it could go into https://www.lyx.org/misc/archaeology/
(www-user.git:/misc/archaeology/), up to you.
