One other thing-- it is advisable to create parser.c any time parser.l

trying to build xboard themselves.  Best to make sure the parser.c in
the winboard directory is always up to date (in particular, wrt
timestamp) so that make will not try to generate it from parser.l.

Xboard/parser.c is in not in git and always needs to be generated. Not
sure about the parser.c in the  winboard directory, perhaps HGM can tell
us if winboard can use the same as xboard... I'll put it on my list of
things to check before a release though. Thanks for pointing it out.

I can answer that. It is possible to generate the one in the winboard directory if you have cygwin and flex, but we try to assume people don't have flex and therefore include a pre-generated parser.c in the winboard directory. We've had issues with this before, and my with recent changes to get compiling working again, I noticed it happened again. I don't know if my update changed the parser.c timestamp or not, actually.
