Actually my original intent was to know if an external program solution
would be fine or an internal routine would be required. The first I prefer
since it goes in the unix tradition and there are better (and ready)
programs to do that, the later might be better since LyX is working also
on windows machine where I do not know if the external program solution is
applicable.
Since so far no-one indicated an internal solution would be better an
external solution will be the prefered way, and ofcourse I'll not limit
myself to ImageMagick and allow configuration of conversion by the user,
and possibly by the configurator.
