Ah I see. Would it be easy to give a lyx2lyx warning? i.e. is the
complicated part detecting when there is a problem or fixing the
problem? If detecting is easy, then it might be useful to give a
warning. For example, I found the warning
"Lyx2lyx knows nothing about module 'shapepar'"
very useful because now I know that the problem is at least known.
Also, this would help when diagnosing a problem of a user.

Even if it's easy, if you don't think it's useful to spend time on it,
let's skip it. I don't know anything about this stuff and am just
throwing out ideas.
