Instead of having a million view_x_command and x_to_y_command in lyxrc, it
may be better to write a general converting/viewing code:
For example, in lyxrc you put lines like
\converter_command dvi ps "dvips"
\converter_command ps pdf "ps2pdf"
etc., and LyX will automatically create an export menu with all the formats
you can export to (ps & pdf in the above example).
The same code can also be used for converting included graphics from
various picture formats to eps.
