 That seems to work fine.
 
 I'm normally a bit wary of forcing the use of a particular 
 implementation of a utility (who needs so sit and watch software build 
 when the OS tools work fine?), but as far as I know, there are only two 
 implementations of lex, and only one of them works for cfengine2.
