Maybe this is a bug, maybe not.  But I was hoping to get a solution quickly.
 
I am trying to compile the MapServer on Win32.  The problem seems to be in
the mapparser build system.  If I understand it right mapparser.h is
generated by the FLEX compiler using mapparser.y and mapparser.l.  This is
useful if you want to change/add tokens to the mapfile.  But frankly I don't
have this tool installed and I don't particularly want to.  I have no need
to edit the tokens.  I have spent the entire morning working on getting
together updated versions of all of the libraries so I could build
mapscript.  Could someone just send me a precompiled "mapparser.h" file?  
 
I am sorry if I sound frustrated, I have been working on C# MapScript and
things are going well, but slow.  In about a half of an hour I had
downloaded SWIG, created all the mapscript objects and fixed them to compile
in C#.  All I needed to do to make things run was add mapscript_wrap.c to
the contents of maplib.dll to make a new mapscript.dll.  Well 4 hours later
I still don't have a working compilation of mapserver.
 
I think if I could get a mapparser.h file I would be on my way.  Is it
possible to get this put in the distribution for us Windows people?
