Agreed. Could we make this easily available on the net and add the URL to
the error message like 

   If this file is from a newer LyX version, try to download the
   conversion script www.lyx.org/downloads/newest-stable/lyx2lyx.py and
   place it in LYXDIR/scripts/.

?

Also, documenting how to upgrade lyx2lyx on wiki.lyx.org is an option.
