Yes, it should be dying at that stage. I've changed it to use
AC_MSG_ERROR instead of AC_MSG_WARN; there's not too many situations I
can think of when you'd have everything else GraphThing needs
(wxWidgets, etc.) but not flex/bison, so I've made bison and flex
requirements.

Yeah, I'm slack. I'll try to write a brief one soon.

The config.h file is generated by ./configure from config.h.in, so it
shouldn't be removed by "make clean". It shouldn't be a symlink
either, and I don't know how that is happening.


Thanks for the reports!
