There are two problems:
1. The fax will appear in menu->export which is not what we want.
2. LyX will not run ksendfax in the background.
To solve these problems, I've created a patch in which a format is considered
"dummy format" if its extension is empty (I think that this is better than
having a flag that says that the ps->fax converter is dummy).
