Oh, by the way, the reason that error message about flex is phrased
that way because it's primarily aimed at people who work from
tarballs. In a tarball, lex.cc is supplied, hence the word
"reconstruct". The build system has a few extra steps when building
from hg. I'm not sure how to document more prominently that more work
needs to be done to compile from hg than a tarball. I guess expanding
the HACKING file?
