Sorry, don't follow.
To recap, on Windows we attempt to execute the lib/configure script as
system("start /min sh <system lyxdir>/configure");
which fails because J:\MinSys\bin isn't in the cmd.exe's path. I'll
investigate further once this 'package' patch is in the repository. At the
momemt I'm really just guessing about the cause of the failure.
