It is that place where FlexLexer.h is still included directly in the 
file that is not autogenerated.  I just need to know if we can change 
the file to point at the FlexLexer that we copy into the source tree.

These sound more like tutorials to me.  I guess what I want for examples 
may be closer to demos then what you want.  I would like to see examples 
that show how to use the code in the realworld and can show off the 
capabilities of why you would want to use this feature.  I don't think 
that pulls along that much extra code.

As far as "I don't want to have to wade through tons of code to find out 
how", I don't either.  I want to look at the documentation for the class 
and see it described right there. :)
