Yes, that's why I checked in both the .l and .cpp versions, when I could only
get the the .cpp file generated, by doing the flex command from the command line
(on SuSE 6.4). I agree it would be better if the the Makefile.am worked on all
machines. What proportion of machines just have lex, and no flex these days?
