[gomd-devel] Survey about removing flex

[Gian Paolo Ghilardi]

Hi all.

Today I was thinking about killing flex support in our project.

Pro of flex:
- it is someway a "standard"
- it can handle config file and command line options quicky

Cons of flex:
- code is not so "readable" if we use flex
- all flex dependencies must be solved for compiling correctly (users need
also flex packages)

We've only a few options to be handled: about 6/7.
So I'd like to replace flex code with something simpler (maybe in C++).

Opinions?
