The reason for writing .cls wrappers was the necessity to input the
relevant koma class to produce a traditionally accepted layout:
\LoadClass{scrbook} % Koma script base class
etc.
In this way I can easily profit from bugfixes to the official alphanum
and koma packages, too.
I'm not shure how to achieve this with a .sty file? Any ideas welcome.
Certainly it *is* possible to only provide the 'raw' toc, sub, up etc.
commands and put them in a .sty file. Well, if you really want that...

Having reconsidered this, I probably won't modify the \maketitle stuff:
This would involve rewriting the extremely complex title generation
code of the koma classes and this is probably just too much for me.
The benefit is doubtful, too: I can't imagine a reliable test, when one
should switch from roman to arabic page numbering, i.e. at which point
the main body of your paper begins. Moreover, people's tastes will
differ here.
What I'm searching for would be a more intuitive solution:
A LyX inset changing the page numbering, e.g. a menu option
Insert->PageNumbering, which would spit out the relevant LaTeX commands
at this point. Moreover, it should be combined with a possible change
in the headings style. In traditional typesetting the exact layout of
the heading is context sensitive, i.e. while using a fancy underline in
your work's main body, this underline is a no op for, e.g. your
combined index of abbreviations and cited literature or other lists in
your papers preamble or postamble.
