Well, flex .33 *is* in the dependency lists... ;)

Yeah, in my first attempt I installed this version but I didn't know that was necessary to replace the scratchbox's flex version or install other updated scratchbox version. This information was too helpful for me and I think it would be helpful for other people as well.

Anyway, it is already registered in webkit-devel archives ;)

Rather than repeating that, I'd rather see configure.ac checking for
the flex version.
I'm not sure how portable the configure script is supposed to be, but
for example
here is an example of how to check the version when common unix tools (sed, awk)
are available:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk/configure.in

Any comments from Alp regarding this? I can cook up a patch if using sed & awk
(or just sed) is ok...
