If we could avoid that, that would be nice, because it'd be another special
thing for people to know. We mainly do this for the bitmaps to avoid a
dependency on inkscape and pngcrush, and there seems to be a
nondeterministic element in there as well.

The reason we have our own lexer is to avoid the external tool dependency
and still allow people to just change the word list. Otherwise, I'd just
convert all of this to GNU flex.

The last patch seems to have built correctly for me, so there is a good
chance that this works now. :)
