path to flex used in compiling mod_python is hard coded
-------------------------------------------------------

Key: MODPYTHON-52
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-52
Project: mod_python
Type: Bug
Versions: 3.2.0
Environment: Linux Debian unstable (sid)
Reporter: Jim Gallacher
Priority: Minor


The path to flex in src/Makefile is hard coded to /usr/local/bin/flex. As a 
result compiling mod_python will fail on many systems.

The path and version of flex should be handled by the configure script. The 
fix is fairly simple and I will attach a patch when I've done a bit more tes
ting.
