Description

Here's a patch that will add the -P option to our m4. Please let me know
what you think. This is needed to bring in the latest flex sources.

Thanks,

Hmm.  Running the getopt loop twice is kinda a hack.  If you absolutely
have to do it at least put getopt's control string in one place so it
isn't duplicated.
