I think this changes as well as the lex->flex change is bogus.  There
are quite a few systems (DG, NeXT) which also uses 'lex' and 'yacc' as
their default build tools w/out having to rename them, so I don't think
we should pollute the FS with lots of un-necessary links.

Which GNU tools rely on the names 'flex' and 'byacc' and won't work with
'lex' and 'yacc'?
