Re: [Flex-devel] Minor observation regarding the file configure.ac

The listing of po/Makefile.in in configure.ac is correct usage. It's a gettext thing. The manual points out the difference and explains it saying that the distributed filefrom gettext  is Makefile.in.in. It comes from generalizing so as not to assume things about the toolchain I think.
