[Flex-devel] useful error message patch

[ruertar <ru...@gm...>]

There are a few cases where flex will output "Input line too long" when
it could be more descriptive.

We've had at least one question one the flex-help list about a difficult
to track down "input line too long" error.  I think simple but
descriptive error messages like these would have helped.

Thanks for your submitted patch. We will evaluate it for inclusion in
the flex codebase.

(And apologies for the long delay in response to your message. We're
busy with things outside of flex; please don't read this delay is a lack
of interest in your submitted patch.)
