I could live with this, but I wonder if there is a better fix. Note that 
we'd need the same for mapparser.c

Also, this would have to wait until 5.2. I'd suggest you file a 5.2 
ticket. There should not be any more lexer changes in 5.0 anyway so your 
builds shouldn't be broken again for this release.
