Interesting. But a bit too large for my taste ;-)

I have a prototype of a tex2lyx converter under 

  http://mathematik.htwm.de/Software/LyX/tex2lyx        (111 lines of perl)
  http://mathematik.htwm.de/Software/LyX/tex2lyx.tex    (226 lines of tex)

that uses TeX itself for the conversion. It currently does not do
tables and paragraph nesting is broken, but the rest looks ok.

The perl part could easily be replaced by C++ (and probably is not needed
at all once a TeX guru has a look at it).

I actually did not want to tell anybody about it until it was finished and
someone found the LyXText bug, but before you start serious work in this
direction I thought I should tell you to prevent double work.
