When using autotools lyx2lyx_version.py is generated in lib/lyx2lyx
under the build directory. If you run lyx in place, this directory
is also taken into account and thus lyx2lyx_version.py is found:
$ ./lyx -dbg init
Setting debug level to init
Debugging `init' (Program initialisation)
Checking whether LyX is run in place... yes
