They are a couple of extremely usefull programs if you are working in 
language related areas ( compilers, interpreters, and so on ).Flex takes
a lexical description file and generates C source for a lexical analyser
( a.k.a. scanner ).Bison takes a syntactical description file and generates
C source for a syntax analyser ( a.k.a. parser ) .With these two , you can
create a program that makes decisions on the basis of some text input and
some lexical and syntactical rules.
Well, I suppose this isn't much of an explanation, if you want more details
read the docs. They explain things much better than me.

No, it isn't. But if you want high quality graphics you'd better consider
installing it.
