- the lex/yacc/gperf generated files include one another, so it is
not possible to use proper automake constructs to generate the
lexer
- it is possible to tell bison and flex to change the prefix of the
generated symbols, different from the default 'yy'; but if one
does so, then the names of the generated files also include this
prefix instead of the default (here, we use 'zconf' instead of 'yy'
- autoconf has a /built-in/ check for lex, but has no way to know
that the output files is differently named
Because of all these mis-features, the autostuff files contain some
dubious constructs, as a palliative.
