This will break old documents (.lyx files created with the previous layout).

We could create a new layout agutex_old.layout (we need the suffix
'_old' because some file systems aren't case sensitive) and then have
lyx2lyx translate using 'agutex.layout' to using 'agutex_old.layout'.
Would that work?

Another option is that I could revert the commit I just committed. I
looked at the diffs of the .cls files and they are minimal. I could
revert the commit and we could wait until the old ftp files are
removed or until there is a meaningful change in the new .cls file.
However, it seems best to deal with this now (a major version change)
rather than wait.

Have we come across a similar issue before that I could look at?
