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'? Nate
