But that will not replace the system flex, so it will
I'm not at all impressed with the recent series of flex releases, since it
started using m4 internally and passing user code through m4.

I think it's worth raising the minimum required version from 2.5.4 to
2.5.31. The latter version was released in March, 2003, so it is

I want to point out that Fedora Core 5 appears to still ship flex
