This would indeed be bad if we want to use dvipng, which is able to
read from an unfinished dvi file, if I am not mistaken.

Another solution: have lyxpreview2bitmap.sh honor the setting of the
LATEX variable if it is already set in the environment. Then LyX could
set this variable when running lyxpreview2bitmap.sh.

Still a kludge, but easy and transparent.
