It is probably possible.

Sure.

No, but it would be probably a good idea to commit for 1.3.x and 1.4.x
at the same time and do the modifications on both trees afterwards.

I guess it will be easier to work if you commit the patch.

We can keep that for later, but I think the lyx binary path should
always be added for osx and windows.

Having an LyXRC::extra_path variable is probably a good idea.

In which cases does this happen?
