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
Solaris, then I'll make the test specific to Solaris.
For what it's worth, Sage / Singular builds on Cygwin where "flex"
does not seem to be installed.
Another thing which needs to be added to prereq (at least on Cygwin) is "file".

Mike, I'll update 'prereq' to check for 'file' - it seems I don't need to bother
with 'flex' but I might as well do it 'file'. I have tried to put a helpful
message in 'prereq' to indicate how to get things that are missing. Can you give
any suggestions for wording for Cygwin?
I'd suggest wording that is unlikely to be inaccurate next time Cygwin is
updated.
I'm really quite surprised Cygwin lacks such a basic command. Does 'ls' come as
standard, or do you need to install that too?
