One other small thing. Instead of the repeated directory creation
stuff, what about something like this:
   function mkpath {
      base=shift;
      for dir in $*; do
         base="$base/$dir";
         if test -d $base; then continue; fi
         mkdir $base;
      done
   }
to be called as:
   mkpath ${HOME}/Library texmf tex latex lyx;
Not tested, though.

What is wrong about directly calling "mkdir -p" to create the deepest
directory and the other ones as needed?

I was assuming the script was supposed to run on a very minimal shell. Is this always supported?
