Aidan,

Not if it has to guess. Use .ll or .l++ as the extension for your lex
file, drop the -+ and watch it work. :-)

Reason behind that: automake needs to know at Makefile.in generation
time which compilers it will need. Thus, every language needs different
extensions, and if the files are generated, automake needs to know which
extensions the generated files will have.
