This is my long announced patch to remove the need to create
lyxrc.defaults and friends in the main support directory (and build
directory). I really would like to see some good testing of this
one, including on windows and osx. This one is for 1.5, I can
provide a 1.4 version if needed.
This patch means that the configuration after installation done in
the os x, windows and rpm installers is not needed any more.
I would like to apply this to 1.4.2 too if it turns out to work.
I had another version that got rid of the notion of
build_support_dir altogether, but I'd rather do things by steps.
Comments and testing highly welcome.

See whether it still works and begin to look at what parts of your
installer
could be removed due to that (no reconfigure when starting up).
Something that is important with this patch is to remove all the
automatically generated files in your build/lib directory. They are
not supposed to come back.
Here's a report -- better late than never. It all seems to work fine.
BTW, did you see the small patch about locale detection? Could you try
it out?
It seems to work fine, though accents do not show up properly.
(That's been a long-standing bug.)
On the other hand, I haven't had problems with GUI language on any of
my machines, even though there have been reports on the user's list
of problems. I'm not sure what's going on there.
