      The Makefile in the distribution builds it, so you should have it.
      It's exceedingly trivial, just a main() that calls yylex() and
      a yyrap() that always returns 1.

      You can't indent your rules like this - that's where the errors are coming
      from.  Flex copies indented text to the output file, it's how you do things
      like
      
      	int num_lines_seen = 0;
      
      to declare local variables.
