It is ugly... especialy since the examply above is a very simplified
one, we get this same problem with url (the IfFileExists is ugly),
also pdflatex will almost require parameters tt are different feom the
latex' ones for hyperref.
_and_ that you have to do this in the preamble at all just shows that
support _in_ LyX is lacking. Changes to the preamble is often needed,
but it is still a hack and is ugly.

I fear that this is more of a pillow that will keep us from doing it
right fast... instead it will take a really long time.
