That is not right, because the converters are not there if you do not re-compile LyX. Of course you can add the converters manually; see the changes in lib/configure.py at http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/7887/knitr.patch (further instructions on converters: section "For Windows Users" http://yihui.name/en/2011/05/sweave-and-pgfsweave-in-lyx-2-0-x-experimental/)
