Does this runs configure in backgrounds?

Then you need to explicitly state what needs to be installed (should we really ask for e.g. gnumeric; should we ask for bunch of esoteric latex classes?) so he adds it to dependencies. The question is whether we want these tex2lyx test for _us_ to make sure we didn't break thing by development or eveything is fine on the target machine. In the second case is missing gnumeric bug or not? Pavel
