I just had a look at the patch... it is quite simple, some
reformatting needed, line-breaks and some more spaces.
Also there is a couple of places with some seemingly arbitrary
changes.

I think this patch is a nice start. But all is does is to run latex
with the '-src-specials' parameter. Further work would be to insert
the specials ourselves and make the lyx document have nicer (stable)
id's than can be used for search and inverse search. (What I mentioned
this summer about giving the paragraphs an id.)
| An inclusion in 1.5 and a backport in 1.4.x is indeed the best we can
| hope for now. I really hope the backport will happen.
After I just read through the patch (again,... I have done this
earlier as well, but had a hard time forming an opinion)
