The reason for my reluctance is probably:
- Any risk of licensing-related issues, i.e. is Master PDF honouring SW
licenses correctly.
Please. Since when are we there to judge other software? The user is
free to decide what he likes. LyX should just offer to select and detect
different PDF viewers.
Besides this, we already support Acrobat Reader: Closed source,
non-free, special license, its usage is a potential security risk since
it tries to put your documents to its cloud... But this is nothing we
have to take care of. Users who don't want this, can use something else.

Meanwhile I contacted the Master PDF devs and indeed the responded
quickly. I reported the problem that an executable name
"masterpdfeditor4" is a problem for use and that we won't spend time to
check the different version numbers. Moreover, on Windows the name of
the executable is just "masterpdfeditor". The will discuss this.
So unless the name of the executable is not uniform on all OSes, I won't
support it. Thus I retract my patch.
I still think however that we should remove KPDF and KGhostscript.
However as we are in a feature freeze, I would postpone this to LyX 2.4.
