I really think that we had this discussion already. IMO LyX should NOT be
clever. You can tell the user "well see this may not run" but you shouldn't
disable/enable it on a 'clever' decision. Maybe I just want to edit a file
export to LaTeX and then do whatever I want with the file (wherever I want!).
We could have some general options in the Preferences which say:
<> Disable all locally non available LaTeX features
And we need a package/dialog where I can enable/disable certain packages
(the above could also be in this dialog/preferences-tab).
