This patch identifies the author of tracked changes written out to lyx file with a hash value constructed from author+email
That way the author id never changes on write, allowing painless merging of files containing tracked changes. Comments very welcome - this is not final. In particular I planned to change it to write the author's hash next to the author info in the preamble. Then I would use that on read, giving the possibility of using any arbitrary value as unique identifier. Many thanks, Greg.
