[Ian McInerney <Ian.S.McInerney@xxxxxxxx>]

I have now updated this so that we bundle the lemon parser code inside
thirdparty and build it for ourselves (it is only 1 main c file that was
released into the public domain). CMake then takes care of all the pathing
for the template and executable file for the targets. This should work on
all platforms now with no extra steps. It also means that there is no need
to install lemon on dev computers anymore.
