The Makefile in the distribution builds it, so you should have it.
It's exceedingly trivial, just a main() that calls yylex() and
a yyrap() that always returns 1.

You can't indent your rules like this - that's where the errors are coming
from.  Flex copies indented text to the output file, it's how you do things
like

	int num_lines_seen = 0;

to declare local variables.
