Probably doing something stupid, but on the off chance I'm not:

- Had to install a newer flex from ports for something.
- Had to move the system flex to avoid hacking reams of bad makefiles
- Did a buildworld, and it can't find a flex
- Seems to me, buildworld should be able to use a newer flex, and
should be able to use the one from /usr/local instead of /sbin

Thanks,
Steve
