Ok. Having flex 2.5.3x in fedora was my original goal when I became
maintainer of flex. However old version is heavy with patches, and new
version went more or less it's own way. So I'd rather do it only after
certain confidence grows.
So... what about creating flex-reentrant,
Naming it flex-reentrant is a mis-nomer.
Reentrancy in flex code is a feature of a scanner's sources, not a
feature of the scanner-generator (flex). It had been possible to write
reentrant scanners even with old flex for many years.
