I think that step one is to add functions to the insets
class InsetXYZ {
public:
virtual void prepare_to_export(ostream &, Buffer const &);
};
The idea being to generate a big shell script of all conversions etc that
need to be performed before we consider running latex, viewing docbook etc.
We can probably leverage the code in graphics/GraphicsConverter.[Ch],
probably also renaming it async_converter.[Ch].
I suspect that prepare_to_export will do little more than decide what format
is needed and whether a conversion is needed at all.
