Actually, we should have the possibility in external insets to add a
rule for format "PDFLaTeX" and InsetExternal::latex() should try first
to call ::write("PDFLaTeX",...) if using pdflatex.
Of course, this leaves open the question of how to actually process
the xfig figure into pdf, but at least one has the right
infrastructure to do so.
Nirmal, you should probably open a bug on bugzilla.lyx.org about that.
