You may want to duplicate the 'touch listerrors' line, for the same reason
(make expects it - otherwise the script will be rerun everytime you run
make, and make install tries to copy it, so it should be tested as well).
A few weeks ago I suggested adding to the second branch of the conditional
(when the lyx --export fails), something to the effect of:
Index: lib/build-listerrors

But if you add the test for the textclass then we should perhaps say
something like (in the case where the --export failed):
"LyX failed to use NoWeb. Please check your installation. Proceeding
Normally"
Just to reassure the user that everything else works even if he has some
problems with noweb.
Lior.
