Well the suggestion is fine, but I got a little confused when trying to 
implement it. I believe that all that would be needed is the equivalent of 
this:

void LyXRC::read(string const & lyxrc_file) {
        string const lyxlib = OnlyPath(lyxrc_file);
        ...
        command = subst(command, "$$lyxlib", lyxlib);
}

void LyXRC::write(string const & lyxrc_file) {
        string const lyxlib = OnlyPath(lyxrc_file);
        ...
        command = subst(command, lyxlib, "$$lyxlib");
}

But I'm not going to delve deeply at the moment. Fancy having a go?
