Since we are doing changes in the installation workflow on Windows we should
consider to advocate TeX Live instead of MiKTeX on official LyX web page
and I have in mind two reasons:
1. increased document interoperability between architectures because both
Linux and Mac use preferably TeX Live (MacTeX is redistribution of
TeX Live if I read their pages right, CMIIW).
2. the instalation time of first install of MiKTeX (including triggered
online updates via configure) is *horrific*. As I wrote in some earlier
email, it took >1 hour to get LyX+MiKTeX working on clean Win machine
mainly because of MiKTeX package handling (and our reconfigure:).
Net TeXLive installer might be better in this regard. (?)
Protext is a MiKTeX installer built from TL: once the 2.6Go are downloaded
(time depends linearly upon the speed of the web connection), I remember
that installing LyX runs smoothly, and the docs compile fine.
