I would prefer if the configuration of LyX searched out and used the
available image conversion tool on the system (ImageMagick, xv, gimp
tools, etc.) the way configuration currently does for latex -> html,
Postscript viewers, and other external tools.  Nothing wrong with
ImageMagick but it is not used on some systems which may have
perfectly suitable alternate tools available.
