Lex and yacc generates C code, so you can always run them on a Unix box
and port the C code (which is very bulky) to any machine which has a C
compiler. You need to write a couple of routines like yywrap(), but
these are pretty trivial (I think that yywrap() is the only function not
defined in the output C code, and it can be a do-nothing -- it is a
function loaded from llib.a if you don't write your own version).
