Undoubtedly can be made to work... but it is 'politically' wise? If we
go the way that Lars proposed and recommend people sticking to 2.95 to
install and use stlport, than even the little extra hassle of
writing/editing a configure_stlport script when a simple --use-stlport
option to configure would be the 'least surprise' expectation, is too
much. (And yes, I know this is for developers, not end users. But that
includes, e.g., distribution packagers handling hundreds of packages
and both unfamiliar with and uninterested in the LyX config/install
system's idiosyncrasies.)
