LyXDir is the location of the "LyX library". With 1.6.x,
Help>About LyX displays it as "Libary directory".

However, on my unix system (Debian), LyXDir is either
/usr/local/share/lyx-svn
(for the development version with binary /usr/local/bin/lyx-svn compiled
with --with-version-prefix=svn) or
/usr/share/lyx
(for the Debian package (currently 1.6.x) with binrary
/usr/local/bin/lyx)
For Unix (at least for Debian), the logic is rather
1. get the complete path of the executable (e.g. "/usr/local/bin/lyx-svn")
2. replace "bin" with "share"
3. append "/"
