Is there a technical reason why flex is stuck at 2.5.4a?  If so, what is it?
That version dates to summer of 1997 (i.e. early Devonian epoch), and there
have been two subsequent releases in 2003 and 2006.  I've verified that the
latest flex source builds OOB, but of course has the usual line ending
troubles.
