| Usual cycle: extract tarball, apply vile-9.8?.patch.gz,
| 
|     ./configure                     \
|         --prefix=/opt/vile/$i       \
|         --enable-plugins            \
|         --enable-filters            \
|         --with-builtin-filters      \
|         --with-perl=/opt/bin/perl   \
|         --with-scr=$j               \
|     && taskset -c 6-11 make -wk all install;
| 
| This blows up in make with:
| 
|     $ make -wk all
| 
|     make: Entering directory '/var/tmp/vile-9.8'
|     cd filters && make prefix=/9.8s DESTDIR= all
|     make[1]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/vile-9.8/filters'
|     compiling sh-filt.l
|     echo '#include <flt_defs.h>' > sh-filt.c
|     flex -Psh_ -t .././filters/sh-filt.l >> sh-filt.c
|     /usr/bin/m4:stdin:2857: ERROR: end of file in string

That's a bug in "new" flex (someone reported it early this year).
Apparently someone decided to pass the C code in a lex file through m4...
