I see that Automake is including a .l.c rule.  And I see that if I touch a .l 
file, it automatically runs flex to generate a new .c file, and then compiles 
that .c file.  For example:

------
[13:19] jsquyres-mac:~/svn/ompi3/opal/util % touch show_help_lex.l
[13:20] jsquyres-mac:~/svn/ompi3/opal/util % make
Making all in keyval
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
  LEX    show_help_lex.c
  CC     show_help_lex.lo
  CCLD   libopalutil.la
/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libopalutil.a(qsort.o) has no symbols
-----

So I guess I'd like to see a specific case where editing a .l file does not 
re-generate the .c file properly.
