imho this is the main idea - to have some link ftp://.../lyxlight.exe
which is possible to install without any fuss and without frightening questions
about words like "latex" which the collaborator possibly never heard before etc.

to me its more about chaning installer than lyx itself (with the exception of
error messages on missing latex classes).
i belive that configure.py is intelligent enough that missing latex and convertors
will cause export/view menu items to disappear.
