I assumed that the contents of J:\MinSys\bin would be used not only by lyx.
But I have to admit that I don't know if that is generally the case, since
I am no typical windows user.
So the lyxrc variable might indeed be the best solution (for the Mac too, of
course), in any case it is better than hardcoding.
