Not if there *isn't* an automake (and there's not one included in the .tar.gz flex distribution).
2: configure processes Makefile.in to create Makefile
But in the .tar.gz distribution, Makefile.in already exists and is never modified by configure et al. The build process from that distribution is configure -> make; automake isn't involved. I can't generate a patch for Makefile.am that uses automake on *your* system, because I don't have access to it (and I don't want to have such access). Never mind. If it's going to get that complicated, I'll deal with generating legible documentation locally.
