After some analysis, it makes sense to change the converter to "a LyX
-> HTML (MS Word) converter", as the format is already "HTML (MS
Word)". The sentence is only seen when reconfiguring, but anyway it
seems clearer this way.

I have attached a new patch for trunk with a few modifications:
* Your suggestion above, both for eLyXer and for htlatex: "a LyX ->
HTML (MS Word) converter".
* I have changed the logic somehow to make it clearer.
* There was a bug when eLyXer was not found, which was silently fixed
by baum in SVN (thanks BTW). Now elyxerfound is initialized at the
beginning; even a novice like me will find it hard to break it again.

I will attach a similar patch for branch in a separate mail (there are
a few small changes).

Alex.
