Probably the latter. I will update my various members. I see that
2.5.4 is the default on my FBSD install, which is the latest, so for
this and maybe some other current platforms we'll be imposing a bit of
extra burden to build, but I guess that's the price of progress.
OK, the fly in this ointment turns out to be MSVC. The latest flex from
GnuWin32 is 2.5.4a, and building 2.5.35 for Windows is turning out to be
quite a pain. Luckily, MinGW has a pre-built modified 2.5.33 available,
and I have installed this (also needed msys-regex), and then I jury
rigged my MSVC build to use it, so we still have one MSVC working OK in
the buildfarm. But we can hardly ask people to install MinGW/MSys so
they can build with MSVC, that's horribly ugly. I'll work on getting
version 2.5.35 build for Windows in a way that works standalone, and
push it somewhere (maybe the dev wiki).
