I dunno... I don't think that's the case.  I think it by default
looks for flex, and then drops back to lex.

Wanna see if you can get it working over there?  It'll be easier
than if we try to transfer fixes back and forth (unless it goes
into the cvs tree).

Great.

*nod*... I just took the already written thing and plugged it
right in there.  We should at least put the:

#if defined(USE_NCURSES) && !defined(RENAMED_NCURSES)
#ifdef HAVE_NCURSES
#include <ncurses.h>
#else
#include <curses.h>
#endif

kinda stuff in... but just the curses.h #include suffices anyways
mostly...
