cfengine compilation errors on Solaris
When building cfengine on Solaris systems, make sure GNU flex and GNU m4 are installed.
Errors when using /usr/ccs/bin/yacc instead of GNU flex:
$ make
...
/bin/bash ../ylwrap cflex.l lex.yy.c cflex.c -- lex
got /files0/home/hutchib/pkg/cfengine-2\.1\.21/src/

Note: If you are installing GNU flex from Sunfreeware, you may also need to install the libintl and libiconv packages.
