Yes, it would.  Unfortunately, it is not that easy.

The problem is that the output that is now generated by your copy of
prlyx.def is in the new preview.dtx version generated both by a
changed tightpage option as well as the lyx option.  So you would
need to distribute also a changed tightpage option.  Unless you are
not really looking at the Tightpage info, because you either
disregard it in ascender/image size calculations, or you just take
its default values of 0.5 PostScript points as additional borders in
the image beyond those specified by the TeX dimensions into account.

Ugly.  I'll try to get the next release out this week to cut off the
need for separate distribution.  It would be nice if you told me
whether the stuff generated from the current CVS version (you can just
unpack it as described in README.preview, ignoring the
autoconf/configure/Makefile stuff) does the trick for you before I
release it.

Thanks,
