For WinNT/Win95 the requirement for flex/bison is mentioned
in the FAQ;  however, for "installing from unix source" there
is no mention that if you run "make clean" or "make distclean"
you'll need flex/bison in order to rebuild the parser
(because it's deleted as part of the "clean" operation and
the Makefile is hardcoded for flex/bison, even though
"configure" didn't find either tool).

Alternatively, you could just reinstall the original source
and start all over from scratch...  :-(

In the latest CVS "make clean" no longer removes the
bison/flex generated files, and the configure script
only prints a warning when bison/flex isn't found.
