Yes. My patch should display a dialog and let the user click ok to
reconfigure. The output should be redirected to a dialog.

Enrico's path has the problem that nothing happens after lyx.exe is
clicked so several instances of lyx are likely to be started.

The long-term solution here is that

1. apply my patch for now.
2. display a message box when lyx is started without proper .lst
files. This can be done easily if someone can show me where to insert
this message box.

3. redirect configure.py output to a dialog. (I do not know how
difficult it is. Abdel may help here.)
4. restart lyx automatically after reconfiguration.

Because my patch follows this line, I propose that we figure out 2 for
1.5.x, and complete 3 and 4 for 1.6.x.

Cheers,
Bo
