Actually, I've noticed a problem on Windows that's related to this.
We attempt to execute the lib/configure script is executed as
system("start /min sh <system lyxdir>/configure");
Unfortunately, sh.exe isn't in cmd.exe's path, being found here:
J:\MinSys\bin\sh.exe
Rather than hard-code these weird and wonderful additions to PATH, why
don't we define a new LyXRC variable "path_prefix" which will be prepended
to the existing PATH variable when LyX is initialised.
