[GRASS5] flex/lex, compatibility

[Andreas Lange]

Hi James,

you are correct, flex is not always installed. But without it you won't
be able to compile grass5 sources. That is what i wanted to say. 
I know of no linux system with a non-GNU standard lex. Sometimes lex is
a shell script which calls flex -l (that is flex in lex compatibility
mode).

cu,

Andreas
