Hmm, that's a good solution, especially since it'll start working right

I think I can get it to do
checking for flex... /usr/local/bin/flex 2.5.4

Oh, that seems to be something in the base autoconf macros rather than
anything we put in. I don't especially like hiding it in config.log
--- who reads that?
