Hmm, I missed that you had done this. Here are two replacement perl
scripts I knocked up, but haven't yet tested. One of the things about
them is that they remove knowledge of particular .l and .y files. and
instead get the required invocation options from the relevant Makefiles.
I think that's a lot better than the horrid hackery we have in the batch
files.
