So is flex a requirement to build Sage? If it is, then I'll add to the
'prereq' script a test for flex. If, which I doubt, it is only needed on

For what it's worth, Sage / Singular builds on Cygwin where "flex"
does not seem to be installed.
Thanks mike.
Another thing which needs to be added to prereq (at least on Cygwin) is "file".

I'm really surprised that 'file' does not exist on Cygwin. It is required as
part of POSIX
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/file.html
and IMHO is a pretty common and useful command. Something like 'lex' and 'yacc'
I can see are less useful to most people, but I would have thought having 'file'
installed was almost as useful as 'ls'!
