Isn't that where we have lyxrc.dist for  ? So, it might not be as terribly 
wrong in general (I'm not talking about the path specifically).

No, lyxrc.dist contains the defaults for the given platform. It's not meant to 
be modified by the installer, IMHO.

BTW, the value of path_prefix on Mac contains many hard-coded directories.
This is not really necessary. This has to be fixed, too.

I think that the installer can use the lyxrc.dist for anything. We do not have to enforce that it contains fixed values. If the need arises, would could have a fourth file (lyxrc.site) that is purely under the control of the local admin, but I am not sure that it is worth the trouble.
