1. Transform name -- although I did not request *any* transformation
through configure's arguments, both the executables and the manual
pages got installed with the prefix ``amd64-portbld-freebsd6.2-''.

I had add the explicit --program-transform-name="" to configure's
arguments. This was not a problem with LyX-1.4.4

2. Parallel install -- this is broken, because multiple things race
to check for and create the directories (under $PREFIX/share/lyx).
Never tried with earlier versions of LyX.

3. Manual pages -- these get installed under PREFIX/share/man, which
is wrong. If PREFIX is not /usr (and it should not be, because lyx is
not part of the OS, although Linux folks don't seem to care for such
things), the right place for man-pages is under PREFIX/man (no "share"
in between). I now have to add an explicit --mandir flag to configure.
This was not an issue with LyX-1.4.4.

4. The following two lines cause the new LyX to complain:
LyX: Unknown tag `\popup_font_encoding' [around line 23 of file 
~/.lyx/preferences]
LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_encoding' [around line 25 of file 
~/.lyx/preferences]

5. A large file, which I last saved with LyX-1.4.4, causes LyX-1.5.0
to crash (SIGSEGV) right at the opening. This may be due to my using
JPEG images in the file (for the first letter of every chapter). I
suppose, this is a bug in the new image-caching feature :(

Rebuilding with debugging now to, maybe, provide more information.
