I just upgraded lex/flex to it's most recent incarnation.  However, this
means that *if* you don't use a make world to upgrade your tree, you
must 'bootstrap' the new flex into place since by default it relies on a
version of flex at least as current as itself, and the previous version
in FreeBSD is not recent enough.

To do this, you must follow these simple steps:

# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/lex
# make bootstrap all install

Viola!  That's all there is to it.  'make world' already has this step
in place, so the make world folks should be set.
