[SOLVED] Re: problem with flex scanner && `make dist'

Very delayed, but I'm replying to my own mail.  Figured I should note
the solution for completeness.
As per usual, it was a PEBKAC.

       ^^^^^  Note this directory name!

                ^^^^^ again, note directory.

                ^^^^^ different.

I had copied this particular `Inc.am' from another project which stored
the parser / scanner in a directory named `input' instead of `parse',
and had not gone over all the directories to fix them.

So for anyone reading the archives: be sure to double check your input;
Automake is probably smarter than you ;)
