Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't lyx work from a temporary directory? Why
not create sym-links in this temporary directory to all include/accessed/used
files and then do the export to TeX etc also in the tmp directory (as at
present). Won't this always work irrespective of the names given by the user ro
his files?
