| 
| * ConsoleFontLoader.h: new class for command-line LyX

HOw hard would it be to have the "Application" type be selectable on
startup?

What i mean is (in principle) "lyx --gui=qt" or "lyx --gui=gtk", and
si this specific case, and perhaps more easily achivable "lyx
--gui=none"  and have that use the gui/frontend found in
frontends/console.

Would selecting a frontend in such a way make the code elsewhere
simpler eaiser? Perhaps no need for the statics of this patch?

(Years ago, Asger and I had a dream of a curses based frontend...
never had any time to pursue anything in that direction...)
