Hey

Sorry about this, i was just playing around and i have it working now :)!

I am using one lexer with 2 grammar files and it seems to compile it ok
fine now. Now just to recode a little but i was doing it badly anyways!

Its nice to see automake figures it out for me! The GDB hack of just
#define bla newbla

seemed to work fine just chucking it all inside the grammar file. Though
would it be better to have it as an include?
