Hey

I think i could maby invest a little time on this, i am also wondering
about that %option because i took me forevor to find that so its
probably not a standard option, but i only really tested my solution
on Debian, Suse and solaris(uses Lex rather than flex). I dont really
have access to any hpux or aix though i should be able to get my hands
on an aix at work somehow. :P

But i'll maby play with this. If i find a more standard solution what
should i do?
