Great! :-)

If you don't mind, I would like to add it to the build. This will be 
necessary, or at least useful, when people start using it.

I already did that in my working copy, encountering a small problem: 
The jam rules for lex and yacc generate source files with the extension 
`.c', which will cause the C compiler to be used, and thus won't work 
very well with your C++ code. Instead of tampering with the existing 
rules -- maybe confusing people relying on that behavior -- I would 
propose to rather rename the input files (`*.l' -> `*.lpp', `*.y' -> `*
.ypp' or to `*.lcpp' and `*.ycpp') and add rules for dealing with 
those.

As said before, this is ready in my working copy, waiting for being 
committed, if you don't object... :-P

CU, Ingo
