....Made a bit of progress by building a simplier package (enscript) that
does similar things. I can get enscript build with only the following
warning messages. Something is not right WRT lex (I think). Although the
enscript build completes, when it is run, I can get fatal run-time errors
about these same undefined symbols. Any Ideas ?
