Ahh, I see the reason, namely, that the converter cache is supposed to
be persistent. So, putting it in LyX's temporary directory won't work,
since that gets deleted. The other option, then, is to put it in the
system temporary directory somehow, but (a) it can't just be
/tmp/lyx-cache/ on a multi-user system and (b) it can't be
/tmp/some-random-name/, because we need to be able to find it again. Is
there any way we could do something like this: /tmp/lyx-username-cache/?
I.e., is there some cross-platform way to find a username?
