Yes, I think so. This is a property of the autoconf code that I stole
for my script. Actually, I have used this syntax in the LYXRC_PROG
invocations that I added in the configure script. It seems to work,
since nobody complained about it :)

However, for some reason I did not have time to finish this cleanup,
so it is still not used much in the script.

Yes, but I do not know when I will have time. Just an idea that is
floating in my head...
