tex2pdf offers such a wrapper, among a lot of other stuff
(hyperref setup, graphics management, etc).
Configuration is (hopefully) self-explanatory.
http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/lyx-howto.htm
Leaves original files unchanged.

If you find it useful, you may add a (e.g) pdf3 converter creating pdfs
through tex2pdf.

The first run may take some time if you have a lot of epses to convert to pdf
(and the result may be disappointing as epstopdf bitmaps vector-like graphics:
you may prefer to control yourself the bitmap quality of such graphics by using 
png format,
or by preserving scalability with the help of external pdf export, see the 
recent thread
about xfig export).

Correct? Where do I put this in the LyX document? Does it go in the preamble
as
\usepackage{letter.ist}
or ...?
put it into $texmf-local/makeindex/letter.ist
Now the problem is, that LyX runs hardcoded
makeindex -q  file.idx   or something similiar
but you need
makeindex -s letter.ist file.idx
you have to write a wrapper makeindex, which does nothing else
as starting the makeindexOld with the letter.ist

   While trying to locate that index style on my system I discovered that
Springer-Verlag has their own style as part of their package. No letters.
So, I won't put that in the book, but I'm curious how one implements this in
LyX rather than manually running makeindex with the style specified.

Thanks,

Rich
