I noticed that in the flex manual. Does it help us any? That is,
are there a useful number of lexes out there that do the full POSIX
spec? If flex is our only real choice for exclusive start conditions
then it's pointless to avoid <<EOF>>.

No ;-). GNU make has enough important features that there is no
near-equivalent non-GNU make. VPATH, for example. One thing I hope
we will be able to do sometime soon is build in an object directory
tree separate from the source tree... can't realistically do that
with any non-GNU make that I've heard of.
