Would it not be easy to create a shell/perl/python script that would
simply look for all the external file references and create a list
of full paths? Like:
% lyx_file_includes foo.lyx
foo.lyx
img/bar.gif
misc/foo.fig
And this would enable us to do things like:
tar cvzf mydoc.tgz `lyx_file_includes foo.lyx`
What do you all think?
