Andrew,
I am the author of that, so I suppose I should jump in. I'm not quite clear
on your objection here. Is it
* the dependence on flex as opposed to lex?
* the dependence on either lex or flex (unlikely given the
dependencies on yacc)?
* the option to use the .c code and NOT depend on (f)lex at all?
The original code was written back in the days when the .tab.c files
were part of the CVS files, and I never got around to modifying it.
Just name your preference.
Paul Hilfinger
