Hmm... This pdfN thing is not very nice. I have been scratching my head
about how to replace it (pdf is pdf, after all), but I do not know. As
it is, if we wanted to have a pdf>djvu converter, we'd have to define it
for all the pdfN subformats.
So here's half an idea. The different pdf formats are of course there so
that there can be different routes to the final product. So what you'd
have to do to avoid that is put this information somewhere else. I.e.,
LyX would need to be aware in some other way that it has three ways to
produce pdf, and then those three ways would be what appeared on the
View menu, or wherever, thus:;
DVI->PDF
DIV->PS->PDF
PDF
or something like that.
Presumably, one would like LyX to figure this out for itself, that there
are three ways. Alternatively, or perhaps additionally, we could allow
"paths" to be user-defined and show those in the view menu.
