Attached the patch (tab errors) to layout2layout needed to make beamer
accessible in 1.5svn.

What is the situation wrt beamer? The layout is included in my 1.4.2
rpm. However, it is missing from 1.4 and 1.5 svn.

I see that sometimes it comes with a separate beamer package, earlier it
was built into tetex (but without layout file) or tetex-extras, etc.
Looks like a mess.

Beamer is widely used and I find it useful. The present situation is not
nice. The file beamer.layout version 1.16 of 2004/10/07 works well with
1.4svn (and with my 1.4.2 rpm), but for 1.5svn it requires the
commenting out of the Input stdcounters.inc line. [Is this something
layout2layout ought to have done?]

Should we include our own version of the layout file with LyX? At least
then the user doesn't have to go hunting for anything. As the consensus
seems to be that all class files that 'officially' exist should be
supported by a .layout file in LyX. Our own version could have a
different name.
