I considered that too, since they seem to be generated during "make dist" 
as well.  However, I won't pretend to know well what libIDL and 
bonobo-activation actually DO or how they work, and since the build 
currently fails on libIDL when you don't have flex anyway (since it needs 
to link in libfl, if I understand the process correctly), you still really 
need flex to actually build it.

If someone wants to take a further look into it, please do so, and try 
building it without flex and see if it actually works, but for now, I 
recommend this simple patch until the situation gets resolved ;)
