I've been looking at modifying setup.py, but need to be able to tell if flex is
installed AND if its headers are installed (required to compile the mmCFIG
code).  The following is only a partial solution:

def is_flex_installed():
    """try and work out if flex (and its headers) are installed."""
    if sys.platform.startswith("win") :
        return False
    import commands
    #TODO - This only checks the command line tool, not the headers
    return "not found" not in commands.getoutput("flex --version")
