OK, the fly in this ointment turns out to be MSVC. The latest flex from
GnuWin32 is 2.5.4a, and building 2.5.35 for Windows is turning out to be
quite a pain. Luckily, MinGW has a pre-built modified 2.5.33 available,
and I have installed this (also needed msys-regex), and then I jury
rigged my MSVC build to use it, so we still have one MSVC working OK in
the buildfarm. But we can hardly ask people to install MinGW/MSys so
they can build with MSVC, that's horribly ugly. I'll work on getting
version 2.5.35 build for Windows in a way that works standalone, and
push it somewhere (maybe the dev wiki).
