No, that was not my intention, even if the possibility to internally
store a postscript file or other textual formats (xfig, etc.) could
be considered, IMO.

I think that one of the most interesting features of LyX is that its
file format is text, and this feature should be maintained. Perhaps
binary formats could be encoded, though.

Once I improved a script which collected all files used by LyX in a tar
archive. I am attaching here this script. It is a Bourne shell script,
but I think that Bo would be able to easily convert it to python.
If there's interest it could even be distributed with LyX. I think
that it is better than nothing.
