[alpha] Re: [LyX/master] Fix bug #9554: When we save a file that was not originally in the current LyX format, create a backup of the original file. We put it in the backup directory, if one exists, otherwise in the directory the original file is in. This is the same strategy as for normal backups. Basically, the only diferences are: (i) what name we use and (ii) we do not over-write any backups that may already exist.

     Fix bug #9554: When we save a file that was not originally in the current
     LyX format, create a backup of the original file. We put it in the backup
     directory, if one exists, otherwise in the directory the original file is
     in. This is the same strategy as for normal backups. Basically, the only
     diferences are: (i) what name we use and (ii) we do not over-write any
     backups that may already exist.

I just found a file "varwidth-floats-side-by-side-499.lyx" at the root
of my build directory (from where I usually run src/lyx). According to
what I had understood this should have been in lib/examples/, where the
original file varwidth-floats-side-by-side.lyx has always been, instead.
My backup dir is set to "". Is there a risk that we are going to pollute
all the users ~/ dir with alpha?
