And here is another one with some minor adjustments.

I am playing with your patch, reordering the diffs to better understand the
general structure. It helps if the first files in the patch are the new files
and only then comes the changed files. :-)
There is one thing that makes me uncomfortable though, to use the same file
extension as used for normal text files.
I know that we already have a precedent regarding the zipped lyx files, but
even so I don't like it much. This is not to say that I will object the
feature because of this. What do others have to say about this?
I had the same reaction initially but am not sure how much of a problem
it is. Generally, the extension gets used to associate the file with an
application, and in that case of course .lyx is fine. Of course, if you
wanted to open it in a text editor---say, in Konqueror, you have a
subsidiary associate that puts kile on the "Open with..." menu---then
you'd have a problem. But for how many people could that be a problem?
And of course, it wouldn't be data loss or anything like that. Still,
maybe some other extension would make it immediately clear when looking
at a directory listing that you're dealing with a LyX package (tm). So I
could go either way.
